What he tried to say was.... "Just forget about MEEGO you OS obsessed people!".

Well, I know what he was really trying to say but Windows Phone 7 does NOT do what Meego Harmattan does does it now? and won't anytime soon. or does he think we won't notice the difference? He's on a different page here and I'm sure his answer didn't really convince anyone.
I understand why you are not happy. But I also suggest you to look past Nokia's decision, and give N9 a try when it's available. From end user's perspective, there will be decent amount of good/useful apps and the phone will be supported in one way or another. Hopefully, the swipe UI will evolve and live on elsewhere so when the N9 gets old, you can find something with similar UX to replace it.

I think Marko wanted to point out the UX is what matters (to end user), I mean if WP has the swipe UI I am sure more people here will like it. For developers it's a different story, but the Qt cross-platform thing isn't as bad as it looks... I know there are many inconsistencies across platforms, but as long as you work on top of Qt layer and the Qt layer is continuously supported, they become something you learned and worked around.... and that's why Nokians try to frame N9 as Qt phone, and for that I kind of understand.
