Posted this in another thread, but -
WP currently requires all third-party apps in the marketplace to be entirely .NET/CLR-based. There are a lot of hints that this will eventually change, possibly at the same time they port to a Windows NT kernel, also hinted to be in the works. This might explain the confusion over Qt, if they plan to eventually port it but can't say so without revealing Microsoft's roadmap.
