I believe the Windows port is just the libraries for supporting KDE applications on Windows, while the Mac OS X and OpenSolaris port are the full-environment?

I think you can get a full KDE experience on Windows but you have to deal with the Win32 Xserver/Cygwin mumbo jumbo.

Reminds me of another similar project.

I guess 2008 is the year of the service pack.


Sounds like another similar project if they had called it release worthy in 2003. Wink

"As Seigo noted on Twitter last week, there were over 2,000 commits to the KDE source code between when KDE 4.0 was tagged and the day it was actually released. That's a tremendous amount of code churn, and much of that is probably bug fixes."

"I encourage those of you who are testing KDE 4.0 to help out by submitting bug reports."

It's really buggy and lacks of some basic functionality. KDE developers are working hard, so I'm confident that 4.1 will be really nice release.

couldn't they just have left it in beta status until it was more ready? I think this choice gave nothing but bad impressions.

Distributions knows the situation of KDE 4.0 so it's up to them does they use KDE 3.5.x or KDE 4.0 as a default desktop. Many distributions has packaged KDE 4.0 so users has a option to install KDE 4.0 from repositories if they want to even if it's not used as a default.
