KDE has released a development snapshot of KDE 4, ironically named "Krash". Nothing much to see for users, but should help kickstart porting and development.

If that is the case, and _if_ (it's a big 'if') KDE4 turns out to be something really good, that will only prove they're supporting Gnome for political reasons and to push their own agendas, not because they're interested in their users and in quality software.
Today, switching desktop platforms is like switching the OS, so you don't just swap them out every few releases. Red Hat has been GNOME from the start, Ubuntu even was built around GNOME (but there is Kubuntu) and Novell most likely won't do another 180 anytime soon. Besides, there is still the licensing (which might fall under "political reasons" if you want). Then again, if Qt wouldn't be GPL and under tight control of Trolltech, Trolltech probably wouldn't exist to spend all that money on the most important KDE library. KDE has Trolltech who put almost all their manpower into KDE related work and GNOME has companies like Red Hat, Novell and Sun each putting a small part of their manpower into GNOME related work. You can't have everything.
