Story: KDE getting ready to go native on Windows
There are a few *HUGE* differences between Linux and OS/2.
1. Linux already has a fairly strong marketshare. OS/2 never did.
2. These are Free/Open software projects being ported. If you use windows, but otherwise fully free software, when you go to get your next computer, you are more likely to get a Linux machine, why? because it's gonna be cheaper.
3. Some of us have to use windows sometimes. if we can have the same software we use everywhere else available to us, great. it'll maintain our sanity
