KOffice doesn't have enough people working on it.
True enough.
And companies are banking on OpenOffice.
No they're not. They're banking on Microsoft Office.
KOffice could play a pivotal role in taking on the corporate desktop.
Well, one step at a time. With its development basis KOffice could easily reach critical mass and turn into a very, very good office suite that would attract more interest, developers and investment. But the corporate desktop? Not even Open Office is denting that sadly.
Something additional is needed to get that going.
waits for the port of KDE4 for Windows
Your comment exemplifies why I think porting Unix and Linux applications to Windows is an absolute waste of everyone's time and effort.
Developers spend a lot of time and effort porting applications to Windows in the vain hope that people will move to an alternative platform, and what happens? People continue to sit on Windows and use the same applications.
