[Qt-interest] Many have not aware about this letter, Its for all who relies on Nokia

[Malyushytsky, Alex]

Was not whole story of Qt purchased by Nokia financed by Microsoft?
Seems like a good way to kill competitor.
Look what happens:

1. Qt is bought by non-desktop developing company.
2. All the development is switched to "mobile" platforms for a few years.
3. Then Qt is kicked out from mobile.
4. Result - Qt is nowhere. Nokia will let it die.
5. If I were Microsoft I would do this on purpose if I could.

Kidding.... or not?

Alex

"Microsoft will provide its free Windows Phone Developer Tools ([...]) to developers interested in developing for Nokia Windows Phones (get used to that phrase) [...]."

Thanks for the offer, but no thanks! Not interested in developing for a single platform only!

:(

Cheers, Oliver
