mingw allows you to write visual c++ applications and games for unix operating systems, so you can write a desktop office suite in mingw and it'll be portable to windows, and kde6 can also contribute to mingw's development
its cool, you setup a macro and a winmain() and proc() loop detects api calls, or something, kinda like windfury in wow:tbc but it'll bring in some ms developers, help portability somewhat, and vc++ is fun its not like visual studio where you have to port libraries, you can fire up mingw and add stuff like selinux libraries i think mingw can be dated, and a little buggy, but hearing windows c++ apps run in kde6 might be a good sell.. also a little program for scripting that positions windows, and terminal effects, and sfx toys for the desktop? like make it better then xeyes
