Just a hypothetical approach: The results of the poll show something completely different than the great minds at Nokia HQ had anticipated. Will they stop production and go back to the drawing table?
It's okay to nag a bit. Think about if I would have written: change the MeeGo 1.1 UI on Nokia devices now! Well, I guess I would have gotten all kinds of requests, but that's not what we need right now. Yes, we are using the insight of this study also for more than the pure marketing, but it's too early to promise the effect of the results as the results itself decide whether there is an effect or not on the current path forward or whether they are simply a confirmation of the current plans.
