"While the industry is distracted by the ongoing tussle between Microsoft and OpenOffice.org over document formats, the KDE project is quietly preparing the next generation of its own office suite, KOffice, for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. KOffice 2.0, to be released sometime in the first half of 2008, will be cross platform like many other applications in the KDE suite built with the Qt4 GUI toolkit."

I think this can be translated to "Microsoft Thinking" vs. "Open Thinking".
You have those two the wrong way around. The Microsoft thinking is to get developers to port applications to Windows in order to get users to stay there.
I love the fact that I will be able to run KDE apps on Windows, BSD and Linux because I have to run Windows at work and, on occasion, at home too.
If all the good applications are ported to Windows, what incentive does your work environment have to switching away from Windows? None. That's what people just don't get about this.
