I'm copying in an exchange from kde-windows, see below for why.

Should we ask Patrick to email kde-promo when they're packaging things up and 
let us know if they'll be ready on the main SC release day? Then we could 
mention KDE on Windows builds in the release announcement and/or the dot story 
(I just had a look at announcements and dot stories for 4.3 and 4.3.3 and 
don't see any mention of the Windows builds).

If Windows builds follow a little later than the main SC release (more likely 
for the major releases?) then we could run a short dot article on those when 
they're ready.
