"While the industry is distracted by the ongoing tussle between Microsoft and OpenOffice.org over document formats, the KDE project is quietly preparing the next generation of its own office suite, KOffice, for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. KOffice 2.0, to be released sometime in the first half of 2008, will be cross platform like many other applications in the KDE suite built with the Qt4 GUI toolkit."

Commercial app developers might see Qt in action on Windows and pick it as a viable choice for cross-platform programs.
It's just shooting in the dark really with assumptions layered on assumptions. As far as I'm aware, the most popular platform for Qt right now is Windows anyway.

Having KDE and KOffice on Windows can also help to sell more commercial licenses for Qt, which would allow Trolltech to expand its efforts and have more power to help OSS.
I fail to see how that will materialise.
