It is not clear from the release whether Digia\u2019s Windows 8 plans include the new runtime, but you would imagine that it does since as far as I know Qt already works fine on the Windows 8 desktop side.<\/p>\n<p>See <a title=\"http:\/\/www.digia.com\/en\/Qt\/\" href=\"http:\/\/www.digia.com\/en\/Qt\/\" target=\"_blank\">Digia&#8217;s Qt site<\/a> for more info.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nokia has sold its Qt business to Helskinki-based Digia.
