So when can I install KOffice and Konqueror and Kontact on my friends Windowses and give OpenOffice and Mozilla some well deserved competition?

As far as I know, Qt is not free on Windows platform, which could hinder the porting of KDE to Windows.

Bye,NAR

It depends on your definition of "free". As of version 4, Qt for Windows is free enough for KDE to be linked against it.

Ok, if you don't like that trolltech wants to make some money with
commercial software development, than qt is still not "free". ;-)
