Actually Bond@ge, there are grief-worthy aspects here.

1. It spells the end of this "community". I'm not a social-network type at all (never even accepted a Facebook invite), but I'll miss this forum and especially some of the participants, who will scatter.

2. It's a foot on the face of an ideal. We're left with just big, grubby, locked-down, oligopolistic OSes. Nokia, even if for its own corporate interests, was serving as a white knight for "the little, freedom-loving people" and the underdogs. And then it sided with the worst of the entrenched oligopolists and mowed us down in our Virtual Tahrir Square.

Edit:

3. Then there all the people who put effort into Maemo, QT, and Meego and are largely undercut/sold out.

4. It's probably a silly thing to mourn, but there are those of us who rooted, maybe foolishly, for a successful Finnish multinational corporation over the American multinational corporations, and for a Europe-centered OS hub instead of all US-centered OSes.
