Come on, Jörg, please try to lighten up a bit!

I understand - it was late at night, you were tired and not in the mood for jokes but accusing that post of pushing the price tag or delaying the project...? It was nothing more than a more verbose - and funnier - way to say the same thing as what I said before. (I understand your frustration of feeling to have to answer the same thing again BTW.)

I personally fail to see how a clearly non-serious post like that can have a negative impact on running the project whilst seriously considering adding new features, thus turning the specs into a moving target, doesn't. I also fail to see why it was labeled as sarcasm "fail". I would say it was sarcastic quite successfully.

Also marginally related, I think that whoever moved this to off-topic slipped a bit: fridgecow's post above is not related and is actually quite to the point. I believe this is the post he was referring to.

@nokiabot,
An ARM-based smartphone is not an x86-based PC. You can already boot alternative OSes on the N900, as long as they are compiled for the right architecture. But desktop Windows or Mac? Forget it.
