 Actually ANGLE (one of the OpenGL backends we have for Windows) doesn't

 Another option would be to build Qt Creator 3.0 for Windows using
 desktop OpenGL and have an option in the installer to install the Mesa
 LLVMpipe software renderer. I have written some instructions for cross
 compiling Mesa for Windows here:
 http://qt-project.org/wiki/Cross-compiling-Mesa-for-Windows
 I think even if Qt will still support Windows XP (as a deployment platform) 
 it is completely fine if the pre-built Qt Creator packages do not. At least I 
 don’t think we should at this point start investing a lot of time on this.
 Of course if someone writes down instructions on how one can build Qt Creator 
 even for Windows XP somewhere in our wiki (or maybe even extending/fixing the 
 README in Qt Creator’s sources), that’d be a perfectly welcome addition ;)

 My 2 1/2 cents,

I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but in case not:

My understanding is that both firefox and chrome are now using ANGLE on 
Windows XP, but have a blacklist of some kind and refuse to run/work 
against the older (broken) display drivers.

(info came from http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=72975 )

I don't know if there's some reason this approach wouldn't work for Qt.

Cheers,

Joseph

 You're a member of the Qt Project if you want to be a member. Just start doing
 work and you can consider yourself a member :-)

Okay, fair point, thanks :-) I've gone ahead and added that bug to the 
known issues page, but shall take no offence if anyone thinks it was 
inappropriate and wants to remove/edit my additions!

Cheers,

Joseph

I'm having various problems with qtquick/qtwebkit failing to deploy on 
Mac OS X in the rc1 release - I've logged them under 
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-35211 with a sample app 
attached. There may be a full workaround, but I've not discovered it yet.
