[Qt-interest] I see the Trolls are being sold to Digia

[Atlant Schmidt]

Thiago:

  My conclusions are based on sound economic principles.

  It doesn't matter what visions Sebastian has communicated
  to you or believes. It doesn't even matter what Elop has
  communicated or believes. The simple fact is that you're
  in the WinPhone business now, the entire corporation has
  been bet on that, and because of that, Qt has no future
  value to Nokia.

  So eventually, unless you see Microsoft adopting Qt or
  you see MeeGo becoming a smashing success and supplanting
  WinPhone, Qt has to go.

  Reaching any other conclusion requires believing in
  the impossible.

                           Atlant

And I'll repeat: your conclusions are based on the facts currently available
to the public.

But you can see that there's a clear divergence between your predictions and
what is happening and what is being said. The reason for that is that you
don't have all the information available.

There's a reason why we're saying that Qt R&D will continue inside Nokia.
There's a reason why the investment levels can be maintained.
