Yes, either Nokia will succeed with ZunePhones, or Nokia will be purchased for their patents. They're down to their last chance. If they fail with Windoze phones, in three years Finland's biggest export will be Nylon Beat CDs.

I don't know why people still insist on referring to it as MeeGo.
(can't blame them thanks to the dumb/confused marketing I guess)
I find that to be an extremely offensive name, I stopped calling it that ages ago
Maemo6x is far more appropriate and technically more accurate.
Not saying it's a direct descendant of Maemo5x, there's some significant differences.
But it most certainly isn't MeeGo proper, it never even got close to fully transitioning.

Meego is not dead, since it was never alive!

MeeGo is more alive than Maemo5 and Maemo5 isn't dead is it? It's all up to the community.

They went to great lengths to secure it from the LF....
When they could've immediately subverted MeeGo, & referred only to Harmattan, Maemo, or even just Nokia N9.*
It wasn't as though MeeGo was a household name by Feb 2011...
They hadn't done a great deal of marketing by that point for the handset side of things.
It's almost like they wanted to attract the "MeeGo is dead" ridicule/mantra from the blogosphere.
*granted they did do this to some extent

Who cares what its called outside of TMO? we all know what it means.
It's not like anyone will recognise Maemo over Meego. And as this is the last device I no longer think its important what pseudo tech blog "journalists" call it. I still trip over myself though when someone asks me what OS the N9 runs. Mee..Maem.Harma..MEEGO!

It's commercial name is Meego harmattan

I would've called it MaeOS.
That way its telling of its roots (Maemo) and its not so weird to say; May-o-s.
And funny derivatives could be contrived (eg "droid" in the Android ecosystem) like maePhone, maeTab, mae-onnaise etc etc

I call it Debian-Based I was so glad that they didn't do a full on 'MeeGo' release, because MeeGo was/is using RPMs.
That really was the one thing that made me go "NOOOOOOOO!!"
Or better told here;
http://www.nooooooooooooooo.com/
While RPMs and yum are okay nowadays, back when I first started using Linux they absolutely stunk. At one point Connectiva even ported apt over for RPM (before Yum came out) but not that many places used it, even RedHat started to, but then they switched to Yum (YellowDog Update Manager, if I recall), so it seems they just didn't want to use apt-get goodness.
So really, Harmattan is more like Maemo6x than it is MeeGo 1.2.
