Maybe the unpleasant truth is that MeeGo really was too late and/or not good enough?

Wow, so this is going on and on ; From what I gather ppl are already mad at Nokia for being unreadable, constantly switching horses, this is not going to improve I guess.
I mean it's all about consistency in mobile devices : Ppl are *scared* of machines you know. You don't realize, you fiddle with bash on chrooted phones, but out there people barely dare tapping the icons on their new fancy phone (that they bough because they were practically forced to by overwhelming marketing forces).
Is there such a thing as techno-fatigue ? I guess Nokia is tired of all that, and wants to quietly go out of business.
If thats the case, then way to go, ditch the most used mobile OS for the least-used one.
Even here where I live (Africa) where MSoft was once very popular, it's starting to look bleak. Who wants to use windows anyway ? Windows is soo passé. I really mean it ; I work with teachers, school directors, students, parents, and they're all mad at MSoft. Look closer, everybody hates Microsoft. They dragged the entire IT business down ever since they came into business, forcing adoption of bad technologies, burying good ones, and generally behaving like a bully to users, and like a regular thug to competitors ; If they had their way, things would be even worse now.
Now they want to kill QT. One can understand why they would want to do that. QT is cool. QT works ; QT is a real threat to them.
