I can offer a single datapoint: a CD-ROM we last updated a couple of years
ago, which comes with QT 6.4 on the disk.   We've been asked by the client,
who's still selling the stock, to check and did this yesterday.  Ran fine
on Vista Business, installing QT off the disk; and we then tried de-installing
that and installing the latest QT (7.1) from Apple's web site, and it still
seemed fine. 

In fact Vista fixes a bug that appeared in our product when QT 6 was released
on XP.

However, this product really doesn't exercise QT at all hard - so it's just
a datapoint.  But certainly evidence that "not certified" != "doesn't work".
