KDE on Cygwin is the port of Qt and KDE to Windows, using
Cygwin, the posix emulation layer for Windows, the xfree86
server and the qt library.
I think it would be great to have one free development
environment for all the different unix or windows OS.
Perhaps one day you could kill the windows explorer and use
kde as default desktop on whatever the OS are. See here for
more reasons.
I started this project in april 2001 and currently I am
working alone on porting kde 1.1.2.
Donald Becker has told, that he is working on an x
emulation lib for providing a native running kde on
Windows. Currently he is verifying, if the ntxlib is usable
for this.
Right now, Qt 1.45, KDE 1.1.2 and Qt 2.3 have been ported
and are beta quality. (see the KDE 1.1.2 application
status). All this has been tested under Windows NT4 SP6,
Win2k and Windows 98.
Porting of KDE 2.1 is in development.

Cygwin support won't even be contemplated until we get a
developer who works with Windows. Rusty doesn't use
Windows at all, and I only use it for playing Master of
Orion II ;). This is NOT an "anti-windows" statement,
however - it's just that none of us work under windows,
and therefor have no desire (and a lessened ability) to
support it. If we had a developer who likes to work under
MSVC/Cygwin I would gladly work to make the code
Windows-friendly. That'd be fantastic, really, but I'm not
willing to start working under Windows (again) just to
port QUB to it unless someone else will assume
responsibility for the majority of the work involved.
