KDE on Windows -- Deadly to OpenSource in General?

My friend Aaron fears Open Source on the Desktop gets killed. He's not afraid of Microsoft though. He thinks it's the "enemy within". Nah, not his words. I'll rephrase it: He thinks, the deadly danger comes from some little efforts going on in some corner of the KDE project to port some KDE applications to the MS Windows platform. Hmm.... again my words... OK, you better go and read his blog entry yourself.

For now, let me say this: I always valued my friend Aaron's balanced way of reasoning in past "opinion battles" (oh, yeah -- those occur very frequently on KDE mailing lists). But this time I think he is very un-balanced, one-sided, black-and-white only, static in his thinking. Maybe more on that later. (Now first to finish this customer job -- cloning a CUPS master daemon from system space to run several copies in userspace, all with different security settings and custom options, on different non-privileged TCP/IP ports....)
