Any comments about this approach to advance the use of OSS? It sounds like a good idea to me. Sorta a "try" before you buy (or switch, in this case) program.

Windows on the Qt]
The Open Source
Nicholas Petreley

....
Now that open-source developers can get a free version of Qt for Windows, they should make it a priority to get their free Qt applications working on Windows. A flood of Qt applications normally available for Linux suddenly appearing on Windows would give a huge boost to the open-source movement. Windows users would discover how well open-source applications compare to their expensive Microsoft counterparts and how much more quickly open-source projects mature. And they could have this experience without first having to commit to Linux on the desktop. The benefit would go both ways. The contributions of Qt Windows developers would aid the Linux community.
