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

11:21 AM EST 		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.

7:38 PM EST 		"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.
