Well, the Windows user is a bit lost here. Could you clean up reception for me?

a) You say MeeGo is a project hosted by Linux Foundations. How does that matter in the slightest? Hosted by? Who makes the rules and who enforces them? It seems like such a temporary association.

I could ally myself with The International Front for Preventing Murder. What does that prove? That I probably will stick to it until murder is necessary. Has the Linux foundation the ability to force anything? How is this any different?

b) You also say that it's much, much more open that Maemo and more than Android. I ask you: If I can't go through, does it matter how much the door is open? Maemo is more open than Android, but it's still closed enough that little developer head can fit through.

How is having a door you can't go through a little more closed constitute an advantage? That's like saying the jail is better because the bars are further apart.

c) You all said there are no viruses for N900.

Well, that qualifies. I officially declare the count 1.

d) Finally, I propose measures. That is, a developer strike.

No, not that kind of developer strike, what are you? We need apps like water.

I mean that, if possible, viable, etc, a package like notmynokia, community signed with love, be used a dependency for all apps submitted and updated by developers who join the strike.

Since it does nothing else, it should not cause any problems.

The end result of this action would be vaccination. All phones will eventually be protected, leaving the damned virus to die out.

You might point out that my answer to unwanted software is unwanted software. I say:

* a cure is not unwanted
* subscription is possible via button, no functionality will be lost
* you can't ask a bug to please take its pesticide
* the vaccine should have the option of doing nothing
* this is not the first software release to be flagged as malware

Viva la revolucion!

Er, I mean, your thoughts?
