What versions of Windows can run Qt programs?  Looking at
  http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/supported-platforms.html
it seems the official answer is XP or higher are supported.  But I've tried 
Win/2K with success, so unsupported doesn't mean it won't work.  Win/95 and 
Win/98 gave DLL errors that I couldn't fix.  I don't have ME or NT 
available for testing.  I have no desire to run these older operating 
systems, but I'd like to know what to say when I'm documenting system 
requirements.

This article
  http://www.off-soft.net/en/develop/qt/qtb7.html
indicates that the answer depends on both the Qt version and the compiler 
used.  I'm using Qt 4.7-rc1 and MinGW 4.4.
