Really? Because I think that the point of open source software was never to steal market share, become popular and rule the world, but to give people a choice. Some people HAVE to use Windows because XYZ application doesn't work in Linux/doesn't have an alternative/whatever. Why force them to reboot every time they want to use Linux, or start a virtual machine? Nobody really gets anything if 1, 100, or 1,000,000 people switch to Linux. The point of FOSS was always choice.

I think it's still a good thing. It's good for people to be using open source software in any context. If KDE4 on Windows really does add that much value, the underlying OS will become irrelevant. OEMs will pressure hardware vendors into providing proper open source drivers (which is THE barrier to adoption for linux).

@derbuffer "you have to install KDE4 on windows"
Is this a joke? Have you ever heard of Wine? or Virtual Machines? Do you know anything about seamless mode?
If you want to use Windows and like KDE I agree it's cool having KDE on it, weird but cool.

öhm sorry, but i can't understand you.^^
-
You're absolutely right! I have one in my PC :) Linux is the best
-
This is cool but I hope there is a way to get rid of the stupid Winblows logo at the bottom left.

If you want to run Windows Apps AND want to use KDE4 you have to install KDE4 on windows.

Why run Windows if you want KDE? Seems like you're back-peddling. You should really just use Linux instead.
thx for comments :)
