I notice you just comment for the sake of disagreeing. Take your time and list what in Maemo needs updating. Then compare it to WP7 they still dont have copy paste in 2011. WP7 is ****.

Can't we get some more informed and justified productive comments rather than blind nerd rage?
A more productive thing to do is list the deficiencies of WP7 (both in software and in development model) and contrast these with Maemo/Meego rather than just calling it 'gay'. There's a chance - however slim - that someone with influence might just pay attention, sure there is almost no chance of reversing the MS deal, but they may yet view Maemo/Meego as more than just an experiment.
on a side note it's pretty backwards and/or immature view to the term 'gay' as derogatory.

I think the point is that windows is a closed system so it has to function first time everytime and be fixed to entirity by microsoft.
we're OK with a few flaws in maemo and open source systems because we have the source, and an open platform to DIY.
That said, nokia in 4 or 5 years will be wondering why they ever got into smart phones to begin with.
the partnership with intel, meego, qt, AND intel's atom chips would have lead eventually to ATOM x86 smart phones running pure linux, and closed the link between desktop and cell phone. Just add a smartly written nokia phone tools type for desktops running linux, and you can now promote the same vertical integration apple has, while still taking the market for arm proccesors. Almost think, make meego ports for EVERY phone, and you can hijack competitor's products from them.
people use windows on their desktops because they have to, or don't know anything else.. It comes with the computer, they use it at work, they are used to it, mabey comfortable but they really really don't like it. When it comes to phones they avoid it like the plague. The operating system of the hour for the rest of the non-apple world is android. Nokia has a better chance sticking to their guns, and carving out a niche market with meego.
windows on cellphones is done. Just MS and nokia can't see that right now.
when this is over, nokia just signed on to a ship of fail. have fun making dumb phones.

nope, i like windows xp, never had any problems with it and it runs everything i need it to. I could mess around with linux all day long but i've got other things i would rather spend my time on, so i don't. You have to understand that while running a better system is really important to you, most of us just want our computer to work when we turn it on and since most pre-made computers come with windows, well there you go. Also, most people in my experience aren't willing to learn the nuances of more than one or two operating systems. For them windows was hard enough, mac on top of that make two, why would they bother with linux?
I'm not trying to diss linux or anything like that but saying
"mabey comfortable but they really really don't like it."
is a huge stretch
