II think idea to port KHTML to Win32 - either with help of Qt, or without Qt - 
is quite good.  WE BADLY NEED KHTML ON WINDOWS PLATFORM.

At my current job (I work for HP, a-ka "Hewlett-Packard", at the moment), I 
have no influence on IT people - and I am hardly locked into "NT Acccount", 
Exchange server and other Microsoft-ish stuff.
At the same time, I am somewhat free to select alternative browser.
Netscape 7/Mozilla have well-know problems (in particular: bad compatibility 
with sites optimized for MS IE; printing is also quite bad)
I would love to use Konq or other KHTML-based browser at my office desk.

Unfortunately, due to very heavy workload at the work, I even can't read 
mailing lists regulary.
May be, some $$$ from my side can help?
I know that it's not good idea to offer money for some Open Source 
developement, but don't know wether we have any chance to get Konq running in 
Windows otherwise?..
