Windows support is planned for KDE 4, but it may take some time until this is released.

I'm also interested in a way to run KDE apps in Windows. I think right now the only way to do that is through the KDE on Cygwin project, but it only uses KDE 3.4.3, and a lot of fixes have been done in KDE 3.5.x

I'm particularly interested in just a few apps that I couldn't find any good equivalent in Windows, namely:
- Konqueror (I guess it's self explanatory)
- Kontact including Akregator (Thunderbird lacks an organizer feature)
- KOffice, especially KOffice Workspace (I only use OpenOffice to save documents in MS Word .doc format)
- KTorrent (one of the best bittorrent clients I've ever encountered)
- Amarok (simple but powerful)
- Superkaramba (Yahoo!Widgets and Google desktop just doesn't do it for me)

(Sometimes, I have to use Windows because of my sister, who I don't think would like Linux very much)

Btw, I just thought you might be interested to know that the Kubuntu 6.06 LTS Live CD includes some free software for Windows, which you can install by putting in the CD while you are in Windows. The interesting part is that it can install two KDE-PIM programs: Address Book and Calendar. I was wondering, if they were able to do have those two run on Windows, wouldn't it be possible to have the whole Kontact package run, too?

Here's the link to the Kubuntu page: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/6.06-lts-release.php

Buy your sister an early Christmas present, win4linpro, she can run her Window$ apps on your Linux distro. You can also get soem of those Window$ apps to run under wine.
Win4linpro has trial offer, full blown system for 15 days, if yoiu like it keep it pay the fee and keep sis happy with her Window$ running under Linux. As she end up seeing more and more of the Linux system and how here windows has less problems she'll want to make the change herself.
Also both of you take a look at these post, if this doesn't want her to leave Window$ then maybe she needs help, just kidding, but do read the posts.

Those will make anyone shake in their boots.

I'm new to LInux but surprised you think your sis wouldn't like it. I can't figure out much yet--am using cd roms for Red Hat I got from a Wiley "dummies" book and haven't even figured out yet how to get my Linux-blessed computer online, but I really love Linux many times more than Microsoft.I recently bought an old computer with Windows XP on it and it's gotten me back online, but XP is terminally ill by nature compared to KDE and GNOME., which I installed on another old computer when my MS 98SE crashed totally. I can't install Fedora yet because I just have a cd-rom drive, so ordered the cd's. I'm already amazed at the generosity and excellence of Linux-kde, compared to the selfishness of something like XP. Everything's just plain better-- except for the way geeks communicate. I appear to be headed to taking a RedHat class so I can get out of the lower dummies level. I haven't been influenced by the purported "myths" about this OS--just my limited experience. XP just seems like a big, selfish rip-off--few good features. I'm telling my friends to try Linux. I've installed a number of softwarish things (photos, for ex.) I got on cd roms geared for MS WIN. I haven't figured out how to install everything, but some COSMI stuff installs easily, and the rest I'll have to just figure out. Don't laugh at me, Geeks. This is all new to me.
