I don't buy the rosy picture. Maemo, Meego, Symbian and QT are all dead in my eyes. I'm not faulting Nokia, they did what they had to do, just stating the fact.

Do you honestly believe that Microsoft and Nokia want to see a high end Meego device compete with a Windows Phone? The answer is no. Simple.

In the end, it doesn't really matter. I have always thought that this community exaggerated its' importance in the whole scheme of things.
