The OS you had on N900 out of the box was Maemo 5

Also, while it had copy, it also had a bad sound system, with shaky dropping audio, non-locking GPS, wifi that was stuck ON locking the CPU, no MMS, bugs is SMS, no USSD, and it crawled. And BT was funny. And no PABC. And no FM support, at all. And no IR support at all. And it has a shaky USB. It was a joke.

W7, despite its 7 moniker, is actually Windows Phone 1.0, the seven is there to sync with W7 on PC, because starting with W8 they will be united.

I never said all are like me. I just wondered why anyone would want to run a crippled OS on the N900 when there is Meego and Android just a few commands away.
It is not meaningless. At the beginning of a cycle there will be few users, early adopters that run beta software, like we did with M5, step 4 of screw us. All iPhones were betas of next versions. All Androids are betas of newer betas and MeeGo 1.0 has so many holes the Moon is laughing, look it up.

And Meego is far from ready, and Android is a hack-in. Thou shalt not compare 200 user that will hack NITDroid on N900 with the lifecycle of a new OS.

I have no idea where you say a "complete" 1.0 release. Android first release was a joke, iOS had no copy-paste, Maemo was downright funny. W7 is WP 1.0 and will have its limitations.They all do. Sucks to be us, but you can choose to buy a more mature OS if you don't like the cutting edge.
