I doubt they have that many people working on it, a couple thousand sure, and I agree about the desktop integration as long as your on windows go figure MS kind of makes that, but i use Linux on all my computers, and as for apple with it's continually growing consumer marketshare???

Have you used a WP7 phone? If so what were your impressions? I tinkered with one one of the IT deans at my work got( a die hard ms fan by the way ) I did not care for it personally the ui seemed interesting but not smooth flowing, did it have promise, sure, do I think it was more stable then any android or iPhone I've used? No. Did it wow me? No. Connectivity was lacking, it couldn't get on the wireless for some reason, didn't sync right through imap. Seemed pretty beta.

That dean didn't have that phone when we came back from winter break, instead they had a droid2. Said they got frustrated with it. I consider this person your average high end user, and they are a self confesed MS fan.

And as of a few weeks ago nokia had a few hundred employees workin on meego and who knows how man intel devs are working on it and how many and plans to put on it.
