Ok, it's obvious you will not answer my question about who you were referring to, and quite honestly I'm not one to fall for marketing speak ad nauseum.

How about this... I'll simplify my question.

MeeGo is wonderful in how it is planned, Nokia is giving to the open source community as much as it is possibly taking away from the community, and above all they are a "well behaved" citizen of the open source community.

Bravo!

But as it stands, MeeGo - a conglomeration of Nokia's Maemo and Intel's Moblin - stands to come out and do quite a few things different than both had before.

Can you detail what is different in regards to prior Maemo and Moblin attempts? That's where people such as myself are lacking a bit of vision in regards to "what's different". Not that I don't know what MeeGo is, nor that I didn't know what Moblin was - hacked it to somewhat run on my OQO 01+ actually but lacked a lot of drivers that would have made it useful for me - but I guess the question you seem to be really overlooking is that marketing speak is a loss here.

We're already here man.

So now, it's specifics that I require. What's so different? Not the whole technical *.deb vs. *.rpm stuff, but how is it different than before to a consumer? What are you comparing it to? Your (Nokia/Intel) prior attempts or something else?

That's where I'm in the dark man. Is that so hard to understand? That's a hurdle that some consumers will have to crest to see what your product will mean to them.
