The MeeGo that'll run on the N900 is based on this MeeGo that has been released today (fully open) with some additional closed source components and drivers that can't be released into the open due to licensing (as shame as that is).

They kept their word on what was about to be released.
If I read it correctly, the first MeeGo User Experience will be shown sometime in May.

Anyway.. this is the first day, the very first day and we're going to see how a fully blown system is going to be build almost from the very scratch.

Image this as a basic Ubuntu with no UI.. then on top of this we're going to get Xubuntu, Kubuntu and so on (i.e. the Ubuntu User Experiences).

This is what we've got today.
The MeeGo foundation. The first blocks.

Is this why PR1.2 was delayed? Just a thought.

But even presuming you're right about the previous update... at least there was an announcement about the future of Maemo at that point to generate an "angry and confused mob". Are you really claiming N[789]x0 users (other than yourself) are such a vicious demented zombie-horde as to be re-angered and re-confused by the release of MeeGo images, even though it brings no real change in the status of either Maemo 5 or MeeGo?
