This smells of brand oversaturation (?) like what ASUS did with their EEE line...

It's not the same as putting "Intel" or "Nokia" brand on everything... the "meego" (sub?)brand to me indicates a lean OS optimized for computing on the go. Something with features and design which I don't necessarily want on my main machine. Even if they execute the MeeGo desktop correctly, it'll only further confuse the customers of what the basic traits/selling points of MeeGo will be... imho.
