Depends. I generally find operating systems interesting but what MS has planned for WP7 kills my interest, specifically the push to have iProduct-like lock down.

I like the OS, totally dislike the stock browser. I'm waiting on Firefox 4 Beta to be announced for it - just like it has been announced on Android & Maemo 5.
To be honest, I dislike the Android stock browser too, use Dolphin HD instead.
MicroB is still "tops" at the moment in my book. But WP7 seems to get more right than wrong - that's something I thought I'd never say.

Symbian^3 and soon Symbian^4 is Nokias main OS. Why is that so hard to get into your heads? There is nothing in the real world that suggests that Symbian will not be the largest OS out there for the next 5 years. Maemo/Nokia-MeeGo is a small fish, targeted for mobile computers.

I watched the first half of the video.
Looks like the only thing they have done better than Maemo5 is make transitions a bit faster, and add multi-touch for zooming.
Not to mention, 6 tabs at once max? MicroB can do that, and more! Flash & HTML5? Doable.
Also, no multi-tasking? Gees.
I mean, if, on my N900, I can run frigging -runescape-(which maxes the CPU, uses a lot of ram, etc), then go and browse the internet while its running(and still have decent performance), a newer device ought to be able to do more than -that-!
However, it seems Micro$oft is following in the footsteps of Apple - How are they gonna get any market share out of that? "shiny and 'just works'" is already taken by apple; Do MS -really- think they can do better?
Silly.

MeeGo is for mobile computers; For Nokia this means tablets (probably) and high end "geek devices" with more emphasis on computer and raw power than functional (and usable) phone capabilities.
When I see an E-series device from Nokia running MeeGo, I will change my mind
But not untill then.

At best, E series devices (unless the specs are beefed up quite a bit) will end up paired against lower end Android devices. Easy way to tell: what CPU it uses. If it's ARM11 or lesser, it's low profile. If it's OMAP3 or better, high profile until the OMAP4 comes out.
