One of the key benefits of many Linux distributions is that they usually run on a wide range of hardware devices.

MeeGo is a step backward in that respect. You can achieve the same thing with "proper" custom-installations of something like Debian or Fedora.

At the moment all I see is Intel getting the benefit.

They do. Currently MeeGo runs on Intel CPUs with SSSE3 or better and Via's Nano chips, along with ARMv5 and ARMv7.

Considering how much Intel is pumping into MeeGo, I don't see why they shouldn't. There are builds being done (and not by Intel) of MeeGo without SSSE3 requirements.

The more I see of Meego, the more I think it has a shot of replacing Maemo 5 on my n900

Yes. You have choices -

1. Boot from PC via USB - http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Install/Dual_Boot section "Dual booting using flasher". It is preferable for the first time, just to do an evaluation. Don't forget to put MeeGo image to uSD before that - http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Install/MMC

2. Boot manually, without PC. You need to have a kernel-power installed from Titan, for exam (I believe it has kexec feature enabled). Then put Meego image on uSD (see again http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Install/MMC). And execute kexec in N900 as in http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Install/kexec section "Running MeeGo".

3. Install MeeGo kernel permanently and have a dual boot ... but this needs some script patching because dual boot doesn't work with kexec (due to some bug). See http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Install/Dual_Boot but you can't follow this because of that bug.

I need to admit - I didn't test all this due to lack of time.

EDIT: instead of writing raw image to uSD you can just install deb file from Nokia-patched MeeGo - http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/meego-codedrop.php And Nokia kernel variant is there too, but I don;t know about - does it support kexec or not.

So it looks like the boys and girls over at meego are coming good on their October Launch.

Will this much anticipated os be fully functional and end-user friendly on the N900?
