>>Hardly any QT programs run on Windows though.

Lots of Qt application run on windows, but as user most of the times you won't notice that your actually using a Qt application.

Yeah of course many QT applications run on Windows. That used to be only proprietary (and usually commercially) ones.

Now we can also get the open source and free ones on Windows. Those are the ones I'm refering to, obviously. E.g. Konqueror, Koffice, KDE.

@ Kevin Kofler, thank you very much for the link! Exactly what I was searching for. Seems its still stuck on KDELibs. The Cygwin/X port was more complete. One could actually run whole KDE using that but is just Cygwin/X of course whereas this is native.

Btw, when I switched to Linux I was happy that I had a familiar browser back then: Netscape Communicator (and a bit later, Mozilla although still Milestones). It meant I didn't have to relearn, and I could use this under both GNOME and KDE (back then I preferred KDE). I believe it really does help/contribute. Although they're different projects one could also check out the websites and FAQs of the Cygwin and WINE projects for arguments involving this concept.
