Well not with the pre-compiled Qt5 binaries as they do indeed use ANGLE, which 
as we have seen causes issues for many people who want to use Qt5 to develop 
desktop OpenGL based applications with Qt 5 on Windows. 

Hopefully the Qt 5.0.2 release binaries will include a build linked against 
Desktop OpenGL too. Intel have made great progress with their OpenGL drivers 
lately and are now even supporting a large part of OpenGL 4 on windows with 
the Intel 4000 series chips.

Kind regards,

Sean
