Use Konqueror in Windows?

I do not wan't to use Windows at all but unfortunately I have an app that cannot be used under Linux and I must keep them installed.

My question is: is there any way I may use Konqueror under Windows? The Windows explorer is just too primitive...

No. There isn't a Windows version of KDE. -- J.W.

my understanding ( I may be wrong) is that after KDE 4 is released, Qt will be ported to windows. Allowing for easier use

Yes, indeed! Behold KDE-Cygwin!

I've never used it, but it looks pretty slick. Check out the screenshots

Although there may be projects to port KDE to Windows underway (or planned for the future) as of today, KDE currently does not offer a Windows version -- J.W.

If there was a Windows version of Konqueror I wouldn't had posted this thread in the first place

I am looking for a way to use Konqueror in Windows, even if I have to use an emulator.

Did you give KDE-Cygwin a try? I'd be interested in knowing how it worked out

Qt has been available for Windows since version 2 at least.

konqueror is not available for windows, but someone is bussy portng it's rendering engine (KHTML) to windows; see http://khtml-win32.sourceforge.net/. Would be nice to see a khtml based web browser on windows.
