Do *NOT* count on any MS or MacOS port of KDE for any significant work. The
"port" to windows uses cygwin which is cool and all, but definitely not
production quality. I don't know of *any* work getting KDE working with
MacOSX.
If you want multi-platform, then you'll be wanting pure Qt. It works great
with all Unice's + Windows and MacOS X. And if a certain proposed wrapper
library takes off, then Qt apps will act just like KDE apps if you are
running KDE sometime after KDE 3.0 (3.1, maybe)
