That's not it. In the "MS Windows world", HW is simply a commodity that has to fulfill MS standards and in all other respects has to be manufactured and sold as cheap as possible. The only one making money in this world is MS. It is the same with Android for all practical purposes. The MeeGo world is very different. The upstream software is free and open. The leaching factor (MS) is cut out of the equation, and you will have more freedom, both literally and economically, to create market manufacture and sell unique products. Certainly some standards of binary or higher level compatibility will emerge, if needed, but it's mostly already there. MS cannot compete with this, neither can Android/Google. They will loose people and they will loose money. It is already happening.
