I think I'm in a better position to disagree with your assessment of what I like and dislike. Although, I'll admit that Nokia's appearance of contempt for customers and arrogance has lost much of my respect and leaves me waiting to see if they'll change that at all. I can't say that the common talk among the threads disagrees with that, whether they agree with my degree of skepticism in Nokia more or less. As for Linux, if I hated it so much, why would I continue to use Linux on all of my devices (primary home server, my laptop, netbook, Neuros OSD, Cisco WRT160NL (using DD-WRT, mind you), etc.). Boggling!

I suspect that recent Nokia-related events have taken some toll on you and perhaps you need a vacation. I suggest taking a weekend at a spa or perhaps go on a vacation to someplace warm with delicious drinks topped with tiny umbrellas. Come back when you're in a better mood to have a discussion about Maemo/MeeGo and competitors.
