Here are a few reasons:
   This is for a client who I am assisting writing code for. The 
current code base is command line only and I am tasked with wrapping it 
in a Gui.
   The developer may not have all the necessary knowledge to just 
"download the src and compile Qt from the command line" when they are 
only used to Visual Studio.
   The compile TAKES FOREVER and they have a slower computer
   I wouldn't have to do this if Qt would release a precompiled version 
for VS (non-commercial)
   I don't want to have to copy 80 bazillion files onto a separate hard 
disk, then copy those same 80 bazillion files onto his disk again......
   I simply want a "lean and mean" Qt precompiled for Visual Studio 2005.
   Lastly, I use CMake to build my projects so the developer in 
question doesn't need to know about qmake or anything else qt related. 
He just wants to build the Gui version of the code.

  Thanks for the assist. Currently building. Probably be done in about 3 hours.
