point taken, but you do realize that sometimes not everybody wants to tweak things on the ohone, rather just have it work out of the box?
I can say by my own experience, I loved tweaking and the customizations options, but now with lesser time I love to have mydevices just work.
Theres really two sides to every coin. Believe me.

No multitasking. C'mon, you cannot seriously call WP a smartphone OS...
Even Android can emulate multitasking better than WP does.
Now lets leave indv. Features aside. Does a phhone really need multitasking all the time? No. Hence the absolte neecd for a multitasking os is not that high apriority on a phone. Rather it should do each task well suited to its form factor and use case. So when making acall I want acall to be unhindered by multi tasks which make a call stutter on the N900.
So lets be objective sometimes andnot be blinded by our love for our favourite Maemo os.
In fact at one time I was dead against keyboardless
Smartphones. Now, not so much anymore.

why exactly are we comparing windows with meego with maemo...they're all great 
and everyone has their own preference as to what works for them...I love maemo...great experience, and def a lot of fun..but it's just not cutting it for me anymore..I need a phone that works, fast and easily and winOS did the trick....Hey, if you like to tweak, and you wanna stick with maemo or meego, then go ahead, no one's telling you not to. I think it's pretty neat, the whole developing your own apps and making the phone work the way you want to, but I just don't have the time or skill for all this. I want things to be done and ready for me right away. And basically wanted a stable OS that's supported.
This thread wasn't meant to force windows upon anyone, just wanted to thank people for their contributions to Maemo, esp cssu team...totally changed maemo and was one of the major reasons I stuck with my N900 for another year

If you come from a dumb phone, an iPhone, or an Android phone, WP is surely a great experience, because you can't know it better.
But if you're coming from Maemo, it's IMHO a huge step backwards.

In that sense, it works great (because my N9 lags and stutters like no other). Using iOS and Android after N900 always left me praising the N900 for its multitasking and I'm glad to have an N9 simply because of its multitasking (lag or not haha).

The lag does bother me here and there when I need something in a hurry, but I still enjoy the interface. But you are right, it is definitely a huge step backward. No one needs to open 10 apps and have them running gung-ho in the background, but maybe 3-4 should be manageable at least (and maemo and meego do this just fine whether you're ok with the lag or not).

Cool commercial. NOKIA knows how to make good commercials.
Doing so without any lag, even better.
True multitasking is good for a lot of things, but if it means I can't do what I purchased the phone for (talking to people) and the lag intercepts my user experience with lag or difficulties, it serves me no use whatsoever.
N9 does well. Very well in that aspect. The N900 wasn't quite there because it would sometimes lag so much when a call was coming in that you'd miss the call (rotate from portrait to landscape was a killer sometimes) or you'd hit the same button multiple times in your rush (or anger) to get to the phone.
But let's just say some people don't even multitask on their computers - shock, horror... I know. But there are different kinds of users and if things are not across the board an even experience, then you do the next best thing - serial tasking. I don't agree with this, but as a mobile developer, I can see how that's your first compromise.
Multitasking... I need it. WP7 doesn't have it. iOS doesn't have it. Android gets close enough for me to complain less. Harmattan has it, but I don't find myself using it too much because of a lack of apps that I'd use beyond the aforementioned things I do.
