Yes, half.
And, I realized the analogy was absurd, but I couldn't think of a good one, so I just rolled with it. I still think it made the point though ... while the stated N97 style of home-screen rotation may not be ideal, it's better than no home-screen rotation at all, IMO (and apparently in the opinions of other people here). But, what I was replying to came across as "we don't like the N97 style of home-screen rotation, so we didn't give you home-screen rotation at all".
While, I do recognize that there are cases where something that is half-done, especially in a user interface, can be worse than doing nothing at all ... but it sounds like the N97 style was good enough for Nokia to ship it, so I don't think that fits this argument.
(and, I don't think you're giving us zero peanuts, that was just part of making the point)
