That's the realm and task of its members. Indeed. If nothing, the KDE League could act as the middle man -- that would still be very useful and instrumental to getting KDE into enterprises. Think of KDE League as showing up and offering facts and figures and "studies" about how well KDE does in the industry. Once the client shows interest, the KDE League just has to point at its members. Oh and btw, that comment about KDE being like Windows is such a crock. What did they do, configure KDE to look like Windows in KPersonalizer? Or maybe they used Red Hat's BlueCurve and still thought it looked more like Windows? Haha. For all the flexibility KDE offers in terms of look and feel and behaviour, they might as well compare KDE to itself. That's why I suspect they just got ready-made studies and setups from Ximian, especially since I *have* heard Ximian say before that KDE looked too much like Windows and that this confused users. Cheers, Navin.
