I hope if I will be ever forced to use Windows again I would be able to have more Unix-friendly desktop :). Here's the announcement. Kudos to all the KDE hackers."

    However the current COST of a Qt license is hurting Linux. By that I mean, they are hurting the small software developer

    Blah Blah Blah. We've heard this one before. I'f you're going to be producing commercial software for windows with Qt you have to pay, what, about $1200 to Trolltech? It's at least a long-term license too.

    Tell me something, if you plan on making less than that amount of money on your product, perhaps you should consider GPLing it anyways...?
