Google Talk works fine on Kopete. They both speak the XMPP protocol.

[...] How to Install KDE in Windows For over a decade, KDE has supplied Linux and Unix users with a graphical desktop environment and a suite of useful applications. It has become one of the most popular desktop environments and is the default on many Linux distributions. With the coming of KDE 4, developers promised native KDE applications running on Windows. While the current release is still not ready for production, as of KDE 4.3.3, it is coming closer and worth trying. What follows is a brief guide to getting KDE running on Windows. [...]

No doubt, KDE on Windows definitely still has issues, Okular and Gwenview especially. Still, as wren pointed out, it is something that can attract people to Linux or other free operating systems. Someone may use one KDE program on Windows, and then you can come along and say, “Hey, you know there are whole operating systems that use free software like this” *wink wink nudge nudge*

The same is true for KDE on Mac. The thing about free software is that it is up to the users to promote it. We have to be willing to do that. That’s what I try to do on MakeTechEasier. Hopefully, it will do some good.

Having not tried kde in windows… does ‘jabber’ not work in kopete in windows? google talk runs on jabber protocol so to use it in kopete you have to set it up with jabber.

WHY?

Another big reason – KDE now comes in more than 80 languages!

It allows people choice… and also lets them transition from windows to linux. My girlfriend thinks amarok 2.x is amazing but she is not about to dump windows for linux just because of that one program.

But get someone used to using opensource software like firefox, Open office, amarok etc… eventually the thought might cross their mind to try out an opensource OS.

Is there any software that doesn’t run without the K Libs that is compelling enough to do this?
Does it work on Windows 98?

These are both relevant questions for schools.

Thanks
