Star Can KDE Save a Dying Windows Platform?

KDE 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."

Just try to run any games (except q3 and ut) made by Loki on any recent distribution


Try running a Windows 9x game on XP without being an administrator.

At least you can easily get them to run, and since just about every windows user in the world as Admin rights on their gaming box it's hardly like it's a huge problem.

Really. Try the first Turok game or Resident Evil.
