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.
