God damn Is this man a moron. KDE runs better the than anything from
Microsoft. As far as compiling MS junk nobody has complete access to the
sources, may with be with the exception of Gates and he's proably so far out
of it these days he would know one end of a compiler from the other

Are you co-developing or supporting the KDE effort in any way? If not, who
gives you the right to wave a finger in front of the KDE team who have done
so much MAGNIFICENT work in the last time?

KDE 1.1.2, due end of August, will be the next stable release. KDE 2.0 will
probably be ready next easter. It will be ready quicker if you give them a
hand (translating, proofreading, writing documentation, it does NOT have to
be programming (in case you cannot do that - I can't, and I helped
translating a bunch of KDE applications already).

That's exactly what's happening. Watch the development news page, on the
KDE website.

Just my 0.02 Euro.
