I'm also unsure as to why you say Meego etc are way ahead of WP7, because from what I've seen they're not. Each has stuff that the other lacks and vice versa. eg Can u edit documents on n9? no you can't at least not yet. Does WP7 have vpn? no it doesn't not yet.

I also agree that going WP7 is inexplicable, very unnecessary. We are on the same page minus the Microsoft hate.

Listen, the reception for initial release of wp7 was bad yes, but not set in stone. They've improved it drastically. They rushed it out to market and the lacklustre hardware attempts from the OEMs didn't help either, considering the alternatives, it was bound to be sucky. Are you all REALLY not seeing ANY merit in wp7 platform? really? How many of you have used a phone with WP7 mango?
They are ahead in the sense that they have 2 devices ready for launch. They have only been sabotaged in order to make space for the new supposed "bulletproof" WP7 plan. MeeGo, even if it did lack in some areas, by releasing the N9 and N950, Nokia could have invested resources completely on MeeGo instead of WP7. By now it would have received updates, would gather third party developers and Nokia could be releasing a third device Q1 2012. This is how it is ahead. WP7 is just an imagination now, nothing has been shown ready and it is not Nokia proprietary OS. You are right in saying that they should have used WP7 as an experiment and check reception in regard to MeeGo. But a full focus on WP7 is seriously inexplicable and must have a background which we, the public, wil never know.
