that could have something to do with the fact that everyone is _used_ to paying for microsoft products. No one is used to paying for qt, so it's more of an issue. -----Original Message----- From: owner-qt-interest@trolltech.com [mailto:owner-qt-interest@trolltech.com]On Behalf Of ticktack Sent: Saturday, December 07, 2002 10:54 PM To: justin-qt@affinix.com Cc: qt-interest@trolltech.com Subject: Re: Qt/Free for Windows I really don't see the point of releasing source code for Windows. Microsoft never release any of their visual** source code, it seems that everybody using it is pretty happy with it. Now since troll release source code to unix (linux) version, Windows programmers feel unfair. The biggest reason that I probably support troll not to release source code for Windows is that I am afraid that it might help Microsoft. I don't want to see another good company being destroy by Microsoft. I don't know why people want to invest their own time to code on prepritory OS using GPL software. TT Justin Karneges wrote:
Hi,
Yes, I realize we have beaten this horse to death already, however I came across this project today:

This looks like quite an undertaking, though it seems so far there is little progress. Basically, he wants to port Qt/X11 to Windows. Of course, Trolltech has already done this, but he wants it GPL.
