It doesn't have to be the case, the kde-on-windows effort still is making baby steps and there are plenty of problems I have personally seen when trying to run kde on windows that could a turn-off for an educational app like GCompris. There certainly is place in this huge Windows market for competition and market support allowing for a stand-alone, well-packaged setup app that has no direct ties to the KDE installer. Such competition will only be good for the end-users. -- Thomas _______________________________________________ kde-community mailing list kde-community@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
