Re: Trolltech: No-Charge License for Qt/Windows
by Magne Aga on Wednesday 27/Jun/2001, @11:25
I see Windows 2000 (and Windows NT) as no more than a UNIX kernel derivate with a "Windows look" (the GUI). I think Windows NT/2000 are good operating systems. However, there are dark clouds ahead.... The coming Windows XP - with registrations by Web, seems to me as a prerequisite to George Orwells future nightmare "1984". Big Brother Bill Gates is watching you!

If Qt/Windows can contribute to development of applications for Windows NT/2000, then the hegemony of Microsoft can be broken. And if MS should be very nasty guys (making the applications incompatible with future Windows incarnations, as they did with Watcom C/C++), people do have an alternative in KDE/Qt/Linux.
