Uhm..

Did you see http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/meego-codedrop.php and when we used it, and http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/ ?

Also, when a platform is in motion and being developed, there will be stopper builds. It's a fact of life. The light can't be showing 'green' constantly.

Contrast this to how Fedora does things. Strict feature freezes. Daily/weekly builds. Code breakages are not allowed. Several live versions. Several RCs. Releases into a -testing repository. Lots of end user testing. Then and only then is it ready to be released. None of this has happened with Meego.

Don't dare tell me that anything they have thus far is ready for release, because by the open community standards, its not even close.
Again, look at the release page. And at http://wiki.meego.com/Release_Engine...lease_Timeline and at http://wiki.meego.com/Release_Engineering/Process , and at http://wiki.meego.com/Quality/Handse...eport/MeeGo1.1

These things happen, you know.

Also, let me remind you again: what is being shipped from meego.com is a platform, not a end-user product.

If it was an end-user product we'd have MP3 codecs, Flash and other things. And you'd have to help pay the royalities for those features.
