I guess it depends on your definition of 'virus' - any kind of remote exploit is as bad as a virus if someone cares to take advantage of it.

You mean it takes one a**hole who can code. Put how you want, with Nokia being greedy and whatnot, but you would have to be a real a**hole to code a virus. This is like developers that stop coding for Maemo to hurt Nokia. You don't hurt Nokia. You hurt the users.

Viruses wouldn't hurt Nokia. Nokia didn't really keep it a secret that they have no interest in the N900. Viruses would only hurt the users.

Hack www.nokia.com and I will applaud you.
