KDE on mswindows is pointlessKDE on mswindows is pointlessPosted Apr 9, 2004 11:41 UTC (Fri) by libra (guest, #2515)In reply to: KDE on mswindows is pointless by aseigo Parent article: Mozilla Looking to Forge Alliances (MozillaZine) The point is that KDE has made its own little bubble of things with its navigator, its office suite its graphic tools etc... In that way it is not better than mswindows, that is it works fine, but only in its own world, and I'm not interested in leaving a monopoly for an other one. But I also know that things are evolving, so while KDE still looks a bit bad for me, I know it is no longer as bad as it was from that point of view. I'm quite ready to consider using KDE apps by the way, as long as they work as well on Gnome (without being encumbered by too much specific KDE library) or Windows and they avoid to all start with a K :) (even Microsoft apps would be more tolerable if they just avoided to have all their names starting with Microsoft). What interests me is to have same tools on any platform I use, by platform I mean Operating Systems, but also Window Managers. Integrating XUL in Gnome, while keeping the ability to run XUL apps on mswindows or Mac is therefore a step in the right direction for me. By the way I'm sorry that thread took that turn.

KDE on mswindows is pointless Posted Apr 10, 2004 1:00 UTC (Sat) by aseigo (guest, #18394) [Link] well, we (the computer using public) need applications and they need to bewritten with SOMEthing, and KDE happens to be there as a free, very portable and comfortable to use set of technologies. and that's why/where all the KDE software came/comes from. it isn't some master plan to implement everything as a KDE app (cue maniacal laughter ;) but rather those who wanted a program that did X (for many instances of X) scratched that itch using KDE technology. btw, as a XUL proponent you will likely be happy to know that there is a project called kaxul in KDE's CVS that takes a XUL interface and renders it using KDE widgets. it supports quite a bit of XUL already, though there is still more to go.
