How to run KDE applications on Windows

KDE Windows Project

Want to run some open source Linux applications designed for the KDE desktop environment, without you know, installing Linux? The KDE Windows Project makes it possible to run some KDE programs in a Windows environment.
The project is in the alpha stages at the moment, and there aren't easy to load packages for some of the most popular KDE applications like the Amarok music player. But we were able to load up a few KDE games and utilities. Theoretically, you should be able to build any package you like from source, but it's a lot easier for the project team to post precompiled versions.
The KDE Windows Project currently supports Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003. Vista support is coming soon. This project has great promise for anyone who wants to use open source applications, but needs to use Windows on a day to day basis for one reason or another.
