I can't really compute that. Doesn't his bargaining position become helluva lot weaker, if he rules out Meego in an interview even before it gets released?

He should do just the opposite, if he wanted to have advantage with Microsoft negotiations. Hint that Meego isn't dead and that Nokia could very well release more models.
