Good good! I've lost interest/track of what's going on lately so I wasn't aware that they're the only two that are left. Still, those two are pretty significant portions to remain closed and I'm far more skeptical about Microsoft's involvement in Nokia's decisions lately. Considering how closely they'll be working together, it wouldn't be too strange to see Microsoft influencing Nokia's priorities in a way that makes it difficult for Nokia to care about whether or not MeeGo manages to get these drivers. (After all, isn't that effectively what they just did to the company's priorities in general?)
