I have had MeeGo on my netbook for a couple of weeks now, and there are some things I just don't get. I thought MeeGo was some kind of unification of netbooks and mobile devices shearing a common linux core an a GUI based around Qt. Guess what. MeeGo for netbooks has no Qt what so ever. There is nothing in the GUI that is based on Qt. It has Qt bundled, but so does every other linux distro, not to mention KDE based WMs that is all Qt.
So what was the point of MeeGo? Chrome OS will be out soon, and so will its fully open source sibling Chromium OS. For a netbook I would like a full fledges OS like the Ubuntu NR or a web based super light thing like the Chromium, preferably both. Why would I care for MeeGo when not a single thing in the GUI will be interchangable with the phone version? confuised.
