I think this could be the reason for suddenly flagging a N900 MeeGo release with a green flag (MeeGo DE). They want MeeGo in-house ASAP, but will also give Maemo 6 a chance.

Could be talking out of my behind here, but I trust stskeeps to correct me where he can.
I have no idea what Elop thinks. Also, please say "MeeGo.com", not Intel's MeeGo, it offends us who works on MeeGo ARM

I don't know what the reason is for the DE approval, I speculated in a thread somewhere, you can read what I thought. It's in everyone's interest to get a proper meego.com that looks, feels and tastes nice.

DE's more of a playground that may yield something remotely usable for hacker types, not a Nokia product
