There's so many things in that article that are direct errors or just general misinformation without even covering background/listing opposite points. As well as relying on one source for a large bunch of quotes where it ends up being a slamfest. And don't even get me started on the obvious bias. What happened to objective 'journalism'?

There are -some- points that are probably correct, but it has been mangled horribly and lost in a really bad article :/

How can anyone be 'forced to stop developing' when other people don't put the development in? What would be typical closed source behaviour is if the git trees were shut down, no patches accepted.. instead it stayed open, so did the requirements process, if anyone wanted to invest time, so they could.

Let me tell you how: because he was essentially packaging the efforts, not actually developing netbook improvements.

Sigh. Back to work (yes, we're actually still working on MeeGo.com for ARM and the N900 hardware adaptation)
