Matthias Ettrich: The KDE-Man! 
Nobody in their right mind would choose Windows over GNU/Linux based on the desktop experience alone, says Matthias Ettrich. -
Where do you see KDE on Windows?
ME: When you say KDE, there're at least three of them: the development platform, the desktop and the set of applications built on top of that platform. You will always get the best KDE experience when using all three combined. -
To me personally, two things matter the most. First, how easy is it to develop applications that really utilise the power of the underlying platform? Keep in mind that those 'desktops' really are software development platforms, what you see on the screen is just the tip of the iceberg. And second, is it free, in the liberty sense of the word? Do I get the source code? Can I learn from it? Can I modify it? Can I share my modifications with others?
