Very good site! I just wonder if 'myth' is the appropriate word. I would
have prefered something like "KDE misconceptions" or "The truth about KDE".


Some comments:

- Licensing / Trolltech buyout:

"If Qt development were to cease altogether Qt we be placed under a BSD
style license."
				
Typo: Qt would be placed ...		


- Licensing / Licensing of Qt library:

Say right in the first paragraph, in bold, that Qt is GPL. This is what
matters and what people should remember. If you say that it is just
compatible with other Free Software license, people won't remember exactly
how Qt is licensed.

- KDE application and speed:

Would be good to provide a few links to the problem (waldo's description)
and some solutions like prelinking.

- KDE3 resource usage
"many people run KDE3 on systems with 64MB of RAM or less."
Are you sure ?

A link to the page that explains that memory reported by top shall not be
trusted.

- On the bindings, you could add a note saying that because the bindings are
autogenerated, they will be quickly in sync with every release. This is the
number one problem with gtk bindings. Can you imagine that every of the 5 or
6 bindings they have is handled separately and manually !

	Philippe
