Well, of course they will. That's what Steve (Monkeyboy) Balmer wants. That's why Stephen (Balmer's Handpuppet) Elop restricted the availability of the N9, effectively restricting it's sales potential, thus effectively killing off Meego.
So far we have 3(?) WP7 devices from Nokia which, incidentally seem to be available in every country (not like the N9).

If..... IF, on the other hand Nokia would have been allowed/permitted to produce the same number of Meego varients and marketed them the way they have marketed the WP7 devices, things would definitely have been vastly different for WP7's so far marginal success.

That's why I have now got my eye on the Samsung/Tizen project.
