MSQt™ is an application and UI framework. Using MSQt™, you can write web-enabled applications once and deploy them across MS™ Windows®, MS™ Mobile® and MS™ Tablet® operating systems without rewriting the source code.

[I think they need more trademarks and registration marks; it's still marginally readable - Carla]

This is a satire, for the real Qt website go to qt.nokia.com

Oh well, and here I wanted to rant and rave.
What I want to know is how someone got this up so fast.

PS: I think it needs more shtick, like the MS-Linux site. This one looks too real.

Isn't it great? A beautiful piece of work.
My goodness, that's BRILLIANT! I love the "getting started" tutorial where the import has a trademark symbol. I don't know if copy/paste will work, so go directly to the page here -> http://www.msqt.org/gettingstartedqml.html and look at the source code.

Love it!

Edit: On second thought, are you sure it's satire? It just goes on and on and on. The objects in their code are hyperlinks, which takes you to an API listing of that object. If that's satire, it must have been at least partially generated. There's just too much of it to have been written by hand.

Edit 2: Well, apparently the consensus is that it's satire. What gets me is how much content they were able to create. Wow. The pages are absolutely brilliant though. My hat is off to the author.
Just love how the include# have TM's in them as well, nice touch.
"apparently the consensus is that it's satire" My 'lafta' vote goes to... (drum roll) msqt, represented by Mr Riku Palomaki, of Finland. (riku@palomaki.fi) WELL DONE, BRAVO. Ahh! Enlightenment. (MSQt.org website points to a finnish host running Linux/Apache2.2, created 12th Feb 2011.) So unless MS had had an epiphany of reason (just re-read my own words- LOL) or a visit from the angel of 'The Force of Good' (a la 'The Scrooge That Stole Christmas'), and had been drawn to the en'LIGHT'ened side, then perhaps Mr Palomaki can accept the award on their behalf.

What happened to the guy that used to name their products?

Microsoft "Miscue" - t

This is beyond belief.
Or, how about that new Microsoft-Nokia deal?

Microakia.

Sounds like an island chain.
Microakia

A small group of volcanic Island atolls, the main Island Ihavavirus is known for it's white beaches and pristine reef, the population is however dwindling due to over Phishing.
Okay, okay, I am duly chastised for the bad pun! Please, I canna take any more!
Miicroösoöft sounds so much nicer...

But Necroasoft is more to the point.
