MS "buys" Nokia (in a manner of speaking) in order to have Nokia drag them to the top.
Instead, MS drags Nokia to the bottom...
LMAO!

Indeed, I really do not see Microsoft having any specific interest in QT one way or the other.

part of the deal
Nokia signs deal with Microsoft
Nokia allows Qt to disintigrate
Microsoft publishes tools and guidelines for porting Qt applications to Windows
Anyone see the pattern here???
All these years and NOTHING EVER CHANGES
Clearly Qt 5.0 is considered a THREAT to Microsoft
Why else would they extend their resources to snuff it out?Last edited by frantaylor; 02 August 2012, 12:55 PM.

Not that it matters much but; since when is Lars Norwegian?
I know his father and he is German at least.

I agree that former Qt developers will probably find theirselves on the easier side of the labor market, but I think everyone here would prefer to see some other company buy the whole Qt thing and continue with the current developers. If Nokia regards the Qt team as nothing more than an opportunity to save money, but does not sell Qt to someone with an actual interest in improving it, then the project will slowly die.
