First, I said that I didn't know what you were talking about, not that you didn't. Second, the post that you linked to was dated Febuary of last year, barely any time after the announcement of MeeGo, so he was misusing the term. A better use for the term is for something like Duke Nukem Forever (well, at least until recently when we actually started to see some signs that it would actually come out, where it therefore wasn't vaporware anymore.)

As for the second part, certainly there is going to be questions about how Nokia's current strategy is going to affect MeeGo. Fortunately, MeeGo's fate wasn't solely tied to Nokia. Yes, we are probably a little ways off from finding out if MeeGo will be a viable platform, but such things take time and I think your expectations have been unrealistic.

You know what, i think this forum is full of dreamers (and yes your entitled to dream) and not many who realistically see this for what it is.

In my heart i want MeeGo to be everything everyone wants but in my head is a far different story.
Oh, I think there are plenty of cynical people on this forum, especially those who have gone through multiple iterations of Maemo. I don't think people's expectations have been out of line.

If anything, you seem to be the dreamer, expecting that a year of development is enough to make MeeGo a consumer-ready OS for the N900. Obviously, it seems workable now, since there are those who say that a lot of things do work.
