Marketing acquisitions?

When marketing people drive company acquisitions you can expect peculiar results.

Consider Nokia. They bought Trolltech, yet they used GTK over Qt in Maemo5 (though I am hearing they 'll switch to Qt in the next version).

What about Novel? The acquired Ximian (founded by Gnome hackers), yet they offer KDE as the default SuSE Linux desktop (true, they where probably more interested in Mono).

Go figure...
