A Look at Trolltech and Qt 4
============================

   Two recent articles cover the success of Trolltech and their product
Qt 4, on which KDE 4 will be based.  Trolltech: A case study in open
source business
[http://business.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/10/03/155235] looks at
the continued growth of the company based on dual licenced Free
Software.  The article describes what KDE and Trolltech gain from each
other, including user feedback to Trolltech and sponsored developers for
KDE.  The Australian Computerworld [http://www.computerworld.com.au/]
declairs that Qt 4 raises the bar for cross-platform app dev tools
[http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;502640359;fp;16;fpid;0]. 
They cover the separate modules of Qt 4 and the cross-platform quality,
giving it a 9.2 out of 10 approval rating.
