The very first Maemo device isn't even announced officially yet. Wait until it's out first before you start being disappointed about other hardware coming out Maemo-less.
I know that there's a linux kernel in Android, but you're pretty much constrained to the java vm.
TenSpeed, so they are flexible enough to force themselves to use a complicated application on a tiny screen, but they aren't flexible enough to familiarize them with a somewhat different OS.

I've never been satisfied by windows.
But then again, no OS really makes me 100% happy. OS X is the closest.

For me it's just a matter of learning to implement that control.

On a different note, maybe Nokia should have implemented a marketing strategy based on choice:
Have it with your Windows OS, or try Linux! You've heard about it it's great, it's secure, it's more stable, open source, AAAAND the laptop is $XXX cheaper than the Windows Version!
what do you think?

On a side note, why don't they make them dual-boot? With the ability to easily remove one of the OS when you decide.
Anyway I'm not sure MS will be happy if Nokia advertise their OS as less secure, less stable, etc.

...To follow your analogy; if you sell a car with gears in the USA, and people don't realize they are different to drive until the first week after they buy it, that too would have higher return rates, yes? Your point.....
Also, don't all cars have gears?

The hardware looked great and then came the disappointment -- Windows. My company and home computers all run Ubuntu and have for years. I wouldn't touch the Booklet 3G with a ten foot pole because of Microsoft. I'm sure others will be overjoyed by the choice of Windows, just not me.

I've had to help people out a ton that bought the "cheap" Dell laptop, only to find out that they got a discount because they bought the Linux variant and not Windows.
Leads to situations like this all too often... which is pretty damn sad imho.

Well put Zerojay. Can't thank you here with a button, so I'll do it vocally.
