the community work from Maemo (or now MeeGo) is undeniably great for ppl like us who usually already running GNU/Linux on our home PCs / laptops, but for Jane or John Doe, it simply won't sell.
dependencies, conflicting packages... no way.
it has (alas) to be the m$ way (i.e.: download a kbXXXXXXX & let it install)


ps: i deleted the link to the Elop on Helsingin Sanomat; can't find ANY reference to it on the a search engine.
