As far as your spoiled children remarks, again, I was not upset by it, I was confused by it. If you only buy Ford F250 trucks, then when you go to another truck and the only Ford truck is available is a Ford Ranger.

You may be mad
You may say I will buy a Chevy or GMC
You may go WOW, thats a sweet little truck (if your a girl )

So these all seem like valid expected responses to the change. Calling people children for being upset about changing something they have been using for years doesn't make sense to me. It just seems your stooping to the exact behavior you point out.

But then again you did say we

I am just saying no need to act surprised or shocked by people being passionate. I can understand people who may want this. I am just not one of those people.

My remark about spoiled children included me, obviously ! As a super geek myself ... I'm quite enough spoiled !

Moreover this remark was not about people upset by change but about people complaining about Maemo not being a full Linux.

I wonder if your famous full Linux experience on N8xx is so great ... snappy, ergonomic, and if the battery life is so good too ... i still don't think it's possible right now to have such a good user experience on a small screen and quite underpowered device. Anyway, what is important is that it suits your needs.

I will still prefer Maemo ...

ps :
I'm a guy but not into trucks, so i can just guess the meaning of your example ...
