Novell has managed to compile Evolution for the Windows platform. The build is currently extremely unstable though, with Novell senior software engineer Tor Lillqvist stating: "You cannot run Evolution on Windows yet ... there isn't anything for end-users to beta-test yet." Lillqvist stated he can start serious debugging work from this point.

Update: Here is a screenshot and here.

Did I say KDE ?

I never said KDE. And even if I used KDE (which I don't), I don't see how the type of desktop environment I currently use impacts on the stability of one app.

What is a desktop environment anyway ? Its a windows manager - which I use KWin on GNOME due to the fact that it kicks ass and currently the best window manager available anywhere (luminocity not withstanding - I tried to compile it and failed) - a desktop app and some sort of panel system, both of which are just regular apps anyway, with special window manager hints.
