I don't think consumers "see" the OS. What they see is a user interface. Maemo 5 (other than previous versions) does its best to hide its desktop origins. In fact, some of the visual concepts come right from S60.

While this caused a lot of disappointment among those who expected another iteration of the traditional MID/netbook OS, it will certainly help newcomers understand that this is "only" a phone.
