As I've said before and I truly believe it, M$ will never allow it's core services or software to run on Linux. It will NEVER happen. Not over Monkey Boy Ballmer's dead, cold body. M$ will always consider Linux to be a disease. So MeeGo, if it survives at Nokia, will be excluded from this collaboration with M$.

Microsoft is not Apple. Of course they will allow Qt on Windows.

Nokia: Your move.
Nokia: Checkmate.
Nokia: Dammit!
Nokia: You shouldn't have moved the queen.
Nokia: I don't like this game, let's play checkers.

Such a M$/Nokia collaboration does not require Qt on Windows.
Yes, but will M$ allow Qt to be run on Windows? I would think that would be more important to Nokia.
The Qt/MeeGo/Symbian plan that Nokia already has in place is such a good concept and they've invested so much into it already that my gut feeling is Nokia sticks with it. I take Elop's message to be not anti-MeeGo but more 'The Symbian platform we've stood on for so long is in a death spiral, so we've gotta get our butts in gear on MeeGo big time!' IOW the "burning platform" he's speaking of is Symbian, not MeeGo.
But then again...M$ has very, VERY deep pockets. They finally must have realized the future is mobile and therefore that the success of WP7 is crucial. After the Kin flamed out so spectacularly they know how tough the market is. No telling what kinda sweet deal M$ is willing to throw at Nokia to go WP7. Billions of $$$ kinda sweet no doubt.

...and I think the cold water that the burning platform guy needs to jump into is MeeGo.
