KDE is a window manager for x windows.. there is a big difference between x windows and mac os x's window manager.

To emulate it, you would need to recreate Quartz, Quartz extreme, apple web kit, cocoa libraries designed for os X, etc. In fact it would be like writing a more complicated next Emulator. Aside from that, Apple would probably file a lawsuit.

Just do the sensible thing and buy a Macintosh if you want Mac OS X. I use Mac OS X as a client and have a freebsd server for my websites. It makes a great combination.

Today I went to an Adobe seminar. All demos where done on OS X. I kept think that it looked a lot like KDE and of course I got to thinking...

Can applications such as Acrobat and Illustrator run on FreeBSD? Since OS X userland is based on FreeBSD it seemed to me there should be a chance of it, is there? I'm think these would not be as hard, but do to the MACH kernel on OS X, I'm not sure. Does anyone know? I also wonder if this would work with Darwin either. But the last I tried Darwin it would not run on my hardware. I'm I just crazy or is there a chance of this?

I also wonder is there a OS X emulator anywhere in the works or future?
