Two reasons to see KDE apps working on Windows and MacOS X:
1. When a KDE user is forced to use Win/MacOS, they get to use KDE and
feel at home.
2. Win/MacOS users can try out KDE apps without UNIX. If your favourite
apps are KDE apps, then you may be tempted to move to UNIX to get a
more stable and powerful underlying OS.
