KDE 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.

Whether or not Konqueror will switch to webkit remains to be seen. My impression is that the KHTML devs are still unwilling to abandon "their" child in favour of Apple's fork.

It is not a matter of either/or.
Given the availability of a WebKit KPart, it is just a matter of selecting which one to use for "text/html"


Yes, K3B would be nice, provided all the command line tools it uses work on Windows.

I think they do. At least cdrecord does, a friend of mine is using it in Batch scripts for automated CD burning.

I believe that K3B heavily relies on HAL for Hardware detection, which if my understanding is correct would limit its platform independence.

The point of a KDE4 version is to not to be limited by a specific implementation of hardware detection through the use of the KDE Solid framework.
