Those are old names and no longer in use. The current terminology is:

	Qt for Windows
	Qt for Mac OS X
	Qt for Linux / X11
	Qt for Windows CE
	Qt for Embedded Linux
	Qt for Symbian

They are talking about the same Qt. The difference is the operating system and 
platform that is being targeted. The names are important for the commercial 
licensing, since one could buy licenses for only some of the platforms and 
save a few hundred dollars.
