First of all, the title is inaccurate. This post is about how to install Qt 4.3 with visual studio 2008 Express edition (Visual c++ 9.0).

So a few days ago, I came across some very “troubling” news, saying that Microsoft, really goes open source.

I know we all hate some of them, who have no idea what they are talking about, but some are pretty decent guys trying to help you, and see what they get in return… Read more…

Now why would I hate one of the greatest movements nowadays? How could somebody hate such a great part of computer history. Now, trust me, after reading this article, you will most probably, share my opinions on open source software. Read more…

Finally, after more than a month I found some time to evaluate and review some of the best freeware anti-spyware utilities, but before that let’s say what is spyware, so that we know what we are facing. Read more…
