Just like MSOffice for the Mac didn't mean Microsoft was endorsing MacOS at all. The part of Microsoft that develops applications has definitely everything to gain from supporting Linux. I guess it's sort of a mandatory question and thanks for obliging me. I don't think it's necessary to go into this again - but that's over now. This is good news for everyone, it means we can get along in peace and concentrate on making our respective desktops better and more widely known.
Free software is all about choice, and there is choice at every level.
It's the best part of the development, when we can improve things without having to worry about release schedules. But all this work will hopefully be released soon, as KDE 2.1. There's no plan for KDE 3 yet, fortunately. With the great design of KDE 2.0, I hope we won't have to go for a major release for a long time, and that we'll be able to deliver improvements for the KDE 2 desktop and applications, as KDE 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 etc. Computer programs are pretty sophisticated now but there are things that computers still can't do.
