For the N900 with its Linux platform, it is quite difficult to fullfill the criteria for "provisionable devices" the way microsoft imagines them. it would require many additional concessions on the OS side, not just in MfE, which makes it really hard to implement in an open OS like Maemo.
therefore i don't expect this situation to change until Harmattan (Maemo 6) gets released, which will provide a DRM-mode, making it far more likely for nokia to be able to fullfill microsoft's criteria for this.

edit:
vitaly (one of the developers of MfE) explained a very good reason in the other thread.
