Yeah, they're just like Microsoft - an evil cooperation that wants to (*gasp!*) make money, and dares to desecrate the ideals of Free Software by releasing Qt under the GPL.

Congrats, you just made an idiot of yourself.

I must agree. QT is completely Open Source. Since the download is availible *now*, it is Ware, not Vaporware. It is, in fact, the exact opposite of Vaporware.

QT is completely Open Source
Can you give me a link where I can get the Open Source win32 library? Because AFAIK QT on win32 is still proprietary and thus QT isn't completely Open Source. Only the X11 version is (and the Mac version IIRC).

Yeah! The lack of good Windows apps and libraries is what truly irritates us Free Software zealots!

Freud would say you are behaving like an idiot, because Gnome has a small penis.

And if anybody wants to rebuild my source, they need to buy that book as well, right?

That's the first time I've heard MS called a 'cooperation'... ;-) how ironic.
