Hi Kris,

at this moment KDE is only available through cygwin on Windows. KDE 4, which 
will be available in late 2006, will run native on Windows. Then you don't 
need cygwin anymore for running KDE. KOffice 2.0, which will be released 
shortly after KDE 4 will also be available native on Windows.

Regards,
