The KDE desktop environment is going cross-platform with support for the Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. In addition to porting the core KDE libraries and applications, developers are also porting popular KDE-based software like the Amarok audio player and the KOffice productivity suite.

I would like to challenge your opinion that porting KDE to other platforms hinders Linux adoption.
It shows people the sort of software they can expect on a full-blown Linux system.
If it wasn't for software such as The GIMP and Firefox on Windows, there would be little chance I would be using Linux full-time as I do now.
