Ars has a very nice brief review of KDE 4.2 on Windows. It seems to work pretty well, and we can now begin to see the day coming when it will work equally well on Linux, Mac and Windows. Its an important trend, and the final release (this is still RC) will be an important moment. We are getting to the point where the desktop environment their customers use moves out of the control of the two main OS vendors. Like it or not, customers of both will not be locked in to one particular desktop environment and integrated file manager. We are also in consequence getting closer and closer to the point where how your user interface works is not dictated by some HIG committee in a windowless room in Redmond or Cupertino, but by you picking whichever one you feel comfortable with, and then tweaking it. One size may fit all, but you'll get to try it on and see for yourself and change if it doesn't. Significant developments for the longer term.
