"KDE 4.0 is very exciting, though not yet production ready, and that shows with this weeks' release of the first beta. It's a beta release for a major software project (using the traditional definition of beta, and not Google's it's-production-ready-but-we-don't-want-to-support-it-officially-yet definition of beta) and thus, it comes complete with bugs, crashes, missing artwork, and other goodies one would expect such as new code, new technologies and fun toys. For those of you who are unaware, KDE is one of the largest open source projects ever conceived. A major milestone release such as 4.0 is a long time in the making. Here follows a number of things to look forward to for those of you brave enough to try this early beta."

... and a reminder about the intended meaning of "Beta"
However, there is a little mistake in the section about portability improvements: Qt3/GPL has not only been available on Unix/X11 but also on Mac OS X.
Though it is still awesome that Qt is now available for free software development on all its supported platforms.
