@danramos I disagree with you when you said that marketing won't help Microsoft. Whereas Vista sucked and so did the Zune, WP does not suck. Well it did, but the updates will change that. It is actually kinda good....for Microsoft. GOOD marketing will help it. Your examples simply point out bad marketing strategies imo. @mikecomputing Your optimism is really amazing. FOSS only survives when there's good investment and a STRONG backing of people behind it. Both of which have been dwindling heavily of late. No doubt the platform had potential, but by itself that it is not enough. It is not looking too compelling right now. The way I look at Meego now is one that has been SABOTAGED from the beginning. I've been following Meego from the start, and the ***** was just soooo slow to grow. It has to be the slowest FOSS projects I've ever seen, and it was 'formerly' backed by TWO very powerful brands Nokia and Intel, yet it just can't see the light of day after what 3-5 years?? why is that? Lack of investment, marketing, closed dev community among a shitload of other things. To top if off Elop just put a big *** nail in its coffin.
