Can KDE Save a Dying Windows Platform? | |
|
||
| Time: 23:48 EST/04:48 GMT | News Source: OS News | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

This article details the story of a KDE-loving software engineer who was forced to use Windows for his job. "His only hope was that he knew Qt was cross compatible with Windows Linux and Mac, and there was talk that someday, KDE was to be ported to Windows. So he waited. Well, KDE4 was announced and there was much joy. Betas were released and there was much bitching. KDE4.0.0 was released and there again was much joy (and still a little bitching). More importantly an actual honest to goodness Windows port is released. Here follows that engineer's report." | ||

Is the the 10th or 12th anniversary of the first proclaimation that Linux would be the death of Windows?
You gotta love the first person narrative. I think MrCoPilot needs to start dating - maybe then he'll get a dose of reality. This post was edited by rxcall on Monday, February 04, 2008 at 08:41. |

| A typical fanboy response. Attack the person, rather than actually refuting anything he said. |

#2: Stop the "holier than thou" crap. You and cohort Latch have attacked nearly everyone on this site at one time or another. You just did it yourself by calling me a “fanboy”.
Did you read the article? What exactly needs to be refuted? The title of the article is ridiculous and really has nothing to do with porting KDE to windows. The author just used it to grab attention. |

"Attack the person, rather than actually refuting anything he said."
He can't keep his Windows box running for more than 6 months. That makes him incompetent |

Dying Windows platform?
Like Windows or not, that's one stupid-ass comment... TL |

In a follow-up post, responding to a number of commenters in his blog, he admits that he used the title specifically to get people's attention, and that it was too good a title not to use it. So, unlike many pundits out there, at least this blogger admits that his title was strictly to get attention.
Here is his response to those who took offense to his title: http://mrcopilot.blogspot.com/2008/02/windows-platform-death-revisited.html |
