This article details the story of a KDE-loving software engineer who was forced to use Windows for his job. "His only hope was that he knew Qt was cross compatible with Windows Linux and Mac, and there was talk that someday, KDE was to be ported to Windows. So he waited. Well, KDE4 was announced and there was much joy. Betas were released and there was much bitching. KDE4.0.0 was released and there again was much joy (and still a little bitching). More importantly an actual honest to goodness Windows port is released. Here follows that engineer's report."

Now try to uninstall Konqueror without removing the KDE itself. Then you will see the difference between IE-driven Explorer and Konqueror.

That's pretty easy on a distribution which doesn't mark Konqueror as a hard dependency (e.g. Gentoo if my memory doesn't fail me).
