Clarifications

Since there're a lot of speculations around here some clarifications:

  • KDE/Windows will not be stopped - it's only me who stopped contribution

  • I'm still convinced that there's a need for KDE/Windows (and KDE/Mac)

  • Using my previous posting for bashing Windows or KDE is stupid and I personally don't like extreme positions - it's just a form of intolerance

  • software must be platform independent for big success - a user does not care about the platform but about the program itself

  • Being paid for working on KDE isn't bad but imho this somehow leads to a two class society because it's hard for a hobby programmer to follow the fast progress. At least this is my feeling.

  • I will not leave the KDE community

    So is this for good, now, or a temporary thing? (I'm hoping the latter :))

    As a user I do in fact care about the platform; I'm so used to Linux that having to use either Mac or Windows gives me cognitive dissonance.

    @Irina
    I think that Christian means something different, if someone want to enjoy kde programs they don't have to be forced to use linux, they can use their favourite os, also if they have to use an unfamiliar os the software will be the same. Look at firefox, even if you never used windows/linux/osx you'll recognize the firefox icon and you will be able to use it without any problems because it works in the same way across different platforms

    software must be platform independent for big success - a user does not care about the platform but about the program itselfthis is true, however does KDE really qualify as software? I always thought of it more as a platform...

    Dull blogger.com thinks blockquote is an evil tag...
