I really hope so, too. But honestly, I _would_ switch to Konqueror within 
Windows. I'm an admin at a medium-sized business and really miss Konqueror at 
times in this environment. Though I doubt that it would be an easy task to 
port Konqueror and all the necessary kparts, kio-slaves and what not to 
windows... but I'm no KDE dev and would love to be proven wrong here :)

Anyway Kontact e.g. (KMail, aKregator...) would be a very good app to port 
imo. Not all people can or want to switch completely to Linux/*BSD and thus 
look for something they can use on Windows as well - today that is 
Firefox/Thunderbird/Sunbird and it will be Evolution once it's ported.
KDE users should have the same choice in the future.

Cheers,
Christoph
