I personally have zero interest in Nokia as a mobile phone hardware manufacturer or MS as an OS supplier getting together. The thing that scares the living crap out of me is what will happen to Qt.
Same here. However, the past year has seen zero advancements in the desktop world of Qt, it's all been mobile oriented, I posted on the labs comments when they announced that the plain old Qt creator SDK was being deprecated in favour of a mobile SDK which also targeted desktops. I commented asking if this was the beginning of the end of the desktop ports being a first class citizen and that I was worried that "when nokia stop flogging the dead horse that is symbian" what would happen to Qt? Funnily enough, nobody from Qt/Nokia responded, some devs did saying that they thought I was reading too much into it......humn.....I should have placed a bet!
