I knew Meego would fail when...
 

Well you fill in the blank. Here I'll start.

I knew Meego would fail when I heard it would be called Meego.

Re: I knew Meego would fail when...
 

I knew MeeGo would fail when it was announced that close to the release of the N900 and no upgrade path was announced.

when I read the compliance spec

...that one day I saw a pig flying past my window, merrily flapping the wings it had just grown right in front of my eyes.

Seriously, save to doom saying for when something actually indicates MeeGo will fail. Right now Nokia has signed itself over into a higher likelihood of slow death, and Nokia might fail, as might Nokia MeeGo offerings, but MeeGo is too decoupled from Nokia to fail as a whole without Nokia support.

When I saw how competitive* Android was I knew that this platform would get a lot of marketshare. There is no market for several big players, and a Linux-based Qt embedded OS would have a long way to go to compete with Android. Now it will just take longer without Nokia backing this up, signing a deal with the devil instead.

(* = because of all its features, development, applications, mindset)

When Ballmer commanded Elop to send its source to purgatory?
I don't know how you guys know it's going to fail though -- just because Nokia is an abusive parent? It still has Intel and ST-Erricson to take care of it, and even Nokia can't completely dump it.
Lots of people have abusive parents and they turn out fine, right?

When fans of open source, and open operating systems, began attacking it as if there were something wrong with the basic idea, and began demanding things of MeeGo that it was never supposed to provide.

Fortunately, open source and MeeGo are stronger than that.

Rephrase it so it's a little more factual

I knew Nokia will not support meego when...

they only sent 3 people to work on it.

Re: I knew Meego would fail when...
 

...when Nokia started to panic about Syimbian being a little dated, and they decided to wrench the guts out of Meamo.

Re: I knew Meego would fail when...
 

Just shows NOKIA wasn't interested in MeeGo at all.
I mean even as Palm was failing (and broke) they had about 150 developers working on WebOS.
It's like they planned to wait and see WP7 to "fail" and then strike an exclusive deal with them.

If NOKIA adopted WP7 before (on release), other OEMs would've been more intrigued which would've certainly given MS an edge and taken some off Android, and NOKIA would not have gotten any "exclusive" rights.

Wow, what double-standards!
