Like many have said before me and I completely agree with most parts:

• That N950 was supposedly the next generation device for the maemo/meego community. There were a few youtube advertisements about it but because Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo was ousted in favour of Stephen Elop and Ari Jaaski left probably because he couldn't stand Elop made N950 and N9 crippled in both ways.
• That the WP devices will most likely carry Nokia's blessing as it will most likely have all the cool things that maemo/meego devices once have/had on their devices. You can safely bet they will proudly slap a windows logo button like as if its never gone out of fashion. The hint is already within W7/W9 where you can see N9's twin sister is actually powered by mango.
• maemo was originally a happy little niche community that never earned the right to step up to the plate to verse against Nokia's symbian platform and because it did the community went ecstatic whilst the world mocked Nokia's desperate move in making N900 mainstream. With now Elop in power you won't see the same case of having your own cake eat it anymore because he couldn't learn to appreciate the niche communities that Nokia has once built.
