"Stephan Binner, a well-known KDE and openSUSE developer, has released a set of live CDs featuring the latest development snapshot of KDE 4 (screenshots). Unlike the SLAX-based live CD called KLAX, which he used to develop in order to demonstrate new KDE releases, his 'KDE Four Live' images are based on openSUSE. After a large, uncompressed live DVD released earlier in the week, a set of smaller live CDs (compressed with Squashfs) is now also available for download. Don't expect trouble-free computing with these early KDE 4 snapshots, but as demonstration tools designed to give KDE users an early taste of things to come, they aren't too bad. The first alpha build of KDE 4 is scheduled for release early next week."

I like KDE because I feel like they make good investments in a single, consistent set of baseline pieces on which everything is built. Things like DCOP, moc, and QT are pretty good in my opinion. Those technologies are being replaced by other stuff, but I feel that KDE led the way in this.
Bringing KDE to Windows will be a huge boon to its development. The applications will improve dramatically when developers from both sides of the Win/*Nix divide can contribute. Sure, there might be some windows-specific stuff in there, but it's a lot easier to take written code and adapt it than it is to come up with new ideas and new code at the same time. And I wouldn't cry to see a whole-sale OSS replacement for the Windows Shell.
