So I was about to use Qt then I read that your software must be released as opensource if you use their IDE.
The terrifying thought of all my hard work being copied, then modified and released by someone else calling it their own sunk in.
Why would anyone release their work as opensource?
They have a commercial license too.

If you want to release closed source commercial software with it, you have to pay for the commercial license.

Credit must be given or they're in violation of the license. GPL also does not prohibit you from making in-house or commercial software -- you just have to make the source as available as the software.
Red Hat has figured out one way to sell open source -- anyone who buys it can modify and release it freely, but the real product being sold is quality support.

openSUSE also had a way of selling open source. they would release the OS in physical copies and a month after the release the source was avalible.

Fuck that.
* If you need single platform, just use the free tools provided by the vendors. Xcode, Visual Studio, tons of shit on Linux, etc.
* If you need cross platform desktop, use Xojo. It's half the price of one year of Qt and Xojo is not a subscription model. The only negative is it's not C++, but the positive is it's one hell of a RAD tool.
That said, we need a good, solid, cross platform, C++ framework that's NOT any form of GPL or L-GPL. I hate those god damn licenses. BSD or MIT is real freedom.

Red Hat has figured out that all they need to do is infiltrate the Linux market with overcomplicated, underdocumented, buggy piece of shit that nobody can seriously work with.
Then they sell support.

If you disable aero on windows 7 it'll go back to handling windows the way XP did, resulting in OPs picture in extreme cases but must of the time it'll just slow down your system by doing everything on the CPU instead of the GPU. As far as I know it isn't possible on windows 8 and above.
