Waz: We may be both wrong about this and he could have meant using linux instead of windows but there is little chance of that.
I'm positive that neither Gnome or KDE have been ported to Windows. You might be able to run them with Cygwin, but it's a really rubbish thing to do.
"hasn't anyone here replaced the desktop with something like litestep or KDE, Gnome, icEWM, SOMEthing other than the WindowsXP Explorer...."
See, he's suggesting using them instead of Windows Explorer. He also claims to use OGGenc as an MP3 encoder in another topic. People who run around showing off about the fact that they use an alternative OS are bad enough, but pretending to just to look cool really annoys me. [/b][/quote]
you dont user google very much do you
YES KDE and GNOME have been ported, the gnome port STARTED about 2 years ago, and they both run on top of the Xfree port as mentioned elswhere in the forum... oh yeah, but gnome only works under win2k/xp/etc
In fact,
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/ported-software.html is where you will find
And if you noticed I did also mention a port which does not require Cygwin, but DOES replace explorer, which was LITESTEP, which is basically a port of afterstep
