Now do you see the eloquent truth in deyons statement?

Devil's advocate here... so regard me accordingly.

However, what are you comparing it to? If you say Maemo, I've owned three Maemo devices and they were hack worthy, but not mass market worthy - not that I think WP7 is there either, just stating the obvious.

And if you mean MeeGo, at least WP7 came out. So I guess I have to ask what are you comparing WP7 in such a negative light?

Do you really think, they will get those fixed in few months?
Yes. They're slated for release in a fall update. Link.
The Microsofties are at it again. Those naughty boys.

I like the idea that they are proposing, but if they cannot provide a financial projection there is no way they are going to succeed with this. As someone else has pointed out, its all about ROIs, and unless they can show that their vision and execution would result in better ROI, its going to be a tough sell.

Not to mention IF they do this, there is going to be a huge market backlash again, because Nokia is once again changing directions after making an announcement, wouldn't inspire much confidence in the company.

There is only isolated storage for each app. Bash is useless in this sort of environment, because it underlies a way of thinking about OS's that simply doesn't fit with the way WP7 works as an operating system.
(OK, not knowing anything about WP7 internals, I'll take your word for it.)

IOW, WP7 is a broken OS -- or, to put it less caustically and more precisely, WP7 is an anachronism, a step decades backward in the evolution of computing. Even the iPhone, from version one (with the deja vu-ful lack of basic features that every other OS has), ran a skeletized modern OS (complete with filesystem) under the hood, with its insanely protective restrictions on data access applied over top of that.


Here, kid, take this nickel and get yourself a real OS...

It's not broken, it's just different. The idea is that sandboxing applications means that users don't have to worry about what a particular application could be doing or what data it has access to, just what services, and these can be specifically allowed/disallowed.

Sure this is not good for us geeks, and the alternative is for everything to be open and allow us to study the sourcecode to understand what the app is doing before it is run but the fact is the vast majority of users prefer a sandboxed environment where they can - at least for the most part - trust that a rogue application can't mess with their system or data.

In the end the promise that Nokia will make a MeeGo device is enough for me. It means that we get an open OS that we can do whatever we want with it and the company remains profitable by selling to market demands.

It's not normal, it's triggered by the news. Do yourself a favor and don't become an investor if you still don't get it
