Yes, Qt, the most fearsome threat Microsoft has ever faced. It must be destroyed by any means possible! It's available on Windows desktop, Max OSX and desktop Linux and I can't think of one commercial software vendor adopting it rather than products like Visual Studio and .NET, but somehow it's going to take over the world when it's on a Nokia phone! That way people can write software that works on a non-existent MeeGo and a dying Symbian - it's unstoppable!
First, stop acting like a jerk.

Although I wouldn't call Qt a threat currently, good development tools other than those provided by microsoft which are platform independent are indeed a problem for microsoft. The dominance of windows is also due to their superior development tools compared to other platforms.

Remember applications today and in the future don't necessarily have the look and feel of the platform as in the past.
