KDE 4 on Mac OS X without X11

"They may not work. They may not even install. They may make your monitor explode in a shower of glass. EVEN LCDs! They may make your children grow horns, and cause the people in your neighborhood to explode spontaneously while doing the Macarena. They will rip out your eyeballs, and eat your soul with a really dull spoon, laughing and cackling while forcing Cheerios up your nose. They will make your intestines explode in a rain of confetti, while evil clowns bite your feet."

The above disclaimer is found on KDE 4 Alpha builds for Mac OS X page, the green dinosaur is attractive since it is so *powerful* ;-)

Good news is that you don't need X11 to run KDE 4 on Mac OS X or Windows, which means a lot open source software built on QT will come to Mac OS X and Windows in __native__ form, isn't that cool?
