Symbian was their bread winner. Maemo was a project that grew and the management have only shown how they didn't know how to market it nor capitalize on a ready and willing community until much, much later - ITT was already there, TMO was the transition of when they started to get what most knew years prior.

MeeGo was the initial push into making those parts they did get into something they could market.

You know the rest... but to say Nokia didn't like Maemo/MeeGo, I'm going to have to ask for proof and not speculation.
