Edit: I found more stories on it, maybe there's some better info there. Fudzilla is just quick info, at best.

If this were officially supported by the KDE team, I would JUMP at this. The only reason I use the Windows Explorer is because it runs my applications, I'd much rather use KDE without some kind of hacked together shell wrapper like in the past. From the sound of it, they're actually porting it to Windows and OSX?

Why can I not find anything else on this, even on their website?

The one quote I found from their site that hints at it...
"KDE4's full-featured applications run natively on Linux, BSD, Solaris, Windows and Mac OS X."

halp me halp u guyz 😛

You are in luck. The site says it is still in alpha and not suited for day-to-day use just yet. However, they are working on it and are in need of testers. OSX should be much farther along than Windows though.

Nice. Thanks!

I wonder how the Windows-world would fare with competition on desktop environments or the separation of the OS from the desktop environment? Could it be adopted if there were decent alternatives?

considering the limitations of windows explorer, i would try this in a heartbeat. the vista gui is a prettier version of what's been out since win 95. the best you can do is windowblinds? blech.
