“TKDE will be available after the official release of KDE 2.1
and FTOSX will be available after the official release of Linux
2.4.1.”

“For us, KDE is the only valid Graphical interface that follows
the original steps fixed by the X Consortium and then the by Open
Group. The K Desktop Enviroment was the first “free” alternative to
CDE (Common Desktop Enviroment) based on Qt libraries.”

“The Qt libraries from its release allow X Window development at
no cost, offering a commercial alternative. Today, the Qt are also
available under GNU license closing definitively this
question.”

“We at FT, wants to enhance the standard KDE with our FTKDE, to
offer a valid alternative to MS Windows and Mac OS (9.x or the new
one). FTKDE will be the standard GUI in our FTOSX.”
