Who would want it, now? Assuming it gets released with all the restrictions and closed-source that Nokia is famous for slapping onto devices. I've heard the arguments that MeeGo is open-source but Linux is open-source, Debian is open-source, but somehow Nokia managed to turn something open-source into a closed-core nightmare with Maemo before. Why are they taking so long to release their own image of MeeGo for a handset if they're not spending a ton of time to DRM and close-source shoehorn the hell out of it? :P

I doubt I'd want whatever they release, now, given their history.
