Your point?

Yes, it is a lot of things. But my question was different.

I'd appreciate if you can give some details about this... Really - this would be useful.

I wish Diablo was a dead-end OS because this would mean there was an alternative and better OS. As long as it has users it is not a dead-end.

And I proposed and easier way to provide the users with MeeGo experience.

Again, your point? I am not interested in discussing your past activities. I asked some valid development-related questions I and will be glad to have them answered.
