Dinsdag is versie 4.5.0 van de KDE Software Compilation verschenen. Deze populaire desktopomgeving ging vroeger door het leven als de K Desktop Environment, maar de ontwikkelaars zijn nu van mening dat KDE Software Compilation de lading beter dekt. KDE wordt primair voor Linux, FreeBSD en Solaris ontwikkeld, maar er bestaan ook versies voor Windows en Mac OS X, al zijn die iets minder ver in hun ontwikkeling. De KDE Software Compilation wordt met een standaard desktop geleverd, inclusief vijftien pakketten met applicaties, waaronder een personal information manager, programma's voor multimedia en netwerkbeheer, en spelletjes. In versie 4.5.0 is heeft de nadruk gelegen op het verbeteren van het gebruik, de prestaties en de stabiliteit. In de aankondiging is meer te lezen over de verbeteringen in de drie belangrijkste onderdelen, namelijk Development Platform, Plasma Workspaces en Applications.
