Can't say that I'm surprised this was a hoax. More surprising was how many people just jumped onto this.

elop said in an interview after being asked point blank if nokia's plan B was meego that their plan B was to make their plan A work.
I think it was the engadget interview that chris z (the only respectable reporter on the engadget staff imo) did during mwc
elop speaks like a very honest and intelligent man, also imo.

Actually almost everyone I know hates the sandboxing of data.If I want to read PDFs in different apps, why should I need to have copies of the same file in each app? Its stupid.

Justifying ANY limitation of a system comes only from lack of imagination.

The fact is plenty of users value the added security over lack of flexibility, which is of course the justification of these restrictions by the people who put them in place.

Okay... I didn't know it was a hoax perpetuated by an iPhone owner.
Wow. Imagine getting duped by an owner of an OS that you all hate.
There's like 10 jokes in that somewhere.

@gerbick: The hoax telling us exactly what we like to hear (improbable as it was) made it as successful as it was.
I wouildn't be surprised if the iPhone bit was also added to have maximal impact
