To build a very light weight, low resources version of KDE with it's normal look and feel but with only the essential components. If you consider the Linux upgrade path, many people won't throw out their Windows Boxes in favor of Linux, but are quite willing to install it on one of their older PC's. Why not get them used to the KDE interface when they first experience Linux. Instead of learning on Fluxbox or some such, then having to relearn another DE (KDE) when they upgrade to a new box. You have a lot better chance of gaining new Linux converts if you get them started on a nice,familiar, user friendly DE from the start. No?
