[Qt-interest] Nokia and MS

[Georg Grabler]

Thanks, I thought the same. Take the OS flame wars somewhere else.
Especially Linux users should know - freedom is to have the choice.

And Qt is a choice because it provides the freedom for people to choose
their platform, and it makes it easier for developers.

So get over it already. Nokia and MS? Yes, something is coming there in the
future, far future where probably there will be WP8 in 2012. Till then,
Nokia has to bet on Symbian and Qt.

The other things you can do your speculations, but MeeGo / Qt and others are
undecided. But there are enough quite large companies with a certain
commercial interest in Qt, and to be a bit sarcastic: the small ones, as
Adobe and Intel, even Dreamworks, and guess it or not: Nokia.

Nokia has a huge bet for at least the next two years selling 15 billion
devices, I'd rather say 4 years looking at Steven Elops time chart and
market share for Symbian, with the first phone 2012 it would be 4 years, so
stay calm. And Qt is a good selling product all around the world to many
companies.

It is too early to worrie, we can do that later as well.
