LinuxWorld.com.au: KOffice 2 on Windows
=======================================

   LinuxWorld.com.au [http://www.linuxworld.com.au] spoke with our very
own Sebastian Kügler, and is reporting about the future of porting KDE 4
and its applications to Windows in an article titled KDE's Windows
Weapon: KOffice 2.0
[http://www.linuxworld.com.au/index.php?id=1596080362&rid=-50]. "With
OpenOffice.org receiving a lion's share of commercial support and market
awareness for a free office suite, KOffice 2.0 has the potential to
challenge its dominance with innovative features and a leaner code
base." The article discusses the pros and cons of porting free software
to proprietary platforms noting, "there is a community building around
KDE on Windows and KDE e.V. sponsored a meeting to help people get the
port to Windows going."
