Tottally agree with the continual fragmentation affecting Linux in general. That's one downside of the open source, the community is the core value but also makes it difficult to stick with one common roadmap.
...
Most Red Hat versions are officially supported by the launch of a new version, but CentOS (Red Hat free distribution) is not. For those whom are getting the point I am trying to make, Meego on N900 supported by Nokia will be like Red Hat, while a Meego version ported by the community would be like CentOS.
Most enterprises only go with SuSE or Red Hat because they want (need really) the "one throat to choke". If there is an issue, they go to one vendor to demand a fix. If its from the community you hope someone hears your cry for help or you fix it yourself. I can't speak for everyone but I think the non Linux consumer wants to look to Nokia to be the one to manage their software.
Now if I am wrong someone should tell me but as far as I know the community can't touch the core apps which is the big issue. What if there are issues with memory leaks, kernel panicks, battery drain or the core apps (phone, browser, etc) just need to be updated. The community can't touch that. I love my third-party apps, but the phone core system and functionality is justas important if not more.
So we have a problem, how do we get these types of users comfortable with the Linux model? I don't know. I'm not sure we can or if we even should.
This is an important question to ask now because when they have the Harmattan to Meego (proper) transition the same questions may come up because its the same type of audience.

If you can prove that N900 will get the MeeGo then my facts are wrong, until you can prove that my fact is wrong therefore you cannot say my facts are not the fact.

Anyway, isn't it that more apps do have Portrait mode in the new PR1.1.1, such as the browser...................i could of course be entirely making that up

As for 1st party applications (as in those that come with the firmware). Only the browser has had a recent addition to portrait mode support. Media player, email, the file manager, and the default RSS feeder still do not have portrait support.

Stop hoping and start living. Whether N900 will get MeeGo or not is not you all to decide. My previous post was to stop people who has so much hope for MeeGo to be on N900. Those he who hope for it might be very disappointed if meego will not be on N900 in the future. But for who did not would still be happy with his N900 whether it is getting the MeeGo or not. My point is stop beg and exaggeratig yourself for MeeGO. And start living and enjoy your device because you paid for it. Do what ever you like with it. To me i rather stopped hoping for the time being and enjoying my device. Aslong my device running smoothly and every functionality works then i don't care.
I work in a role of selling Linux high-end servers for mission critical applications. You can see in the server market that only Red Hat and Suse are well accepted in the corporate market, and the main reason is the ecosystem of supported applications from 3rd parties. I guess lots of the members here work(ed) for big companies, and you can compare Oracle DB supported OS for example. Most Red Hat versions are officially supported by the launch of a new version, but CentOS (Red Hat free distribution) is not. For those whom are getting the point I am trying to make, Meego on N900 supported by Nokia will be like Red Hat, while a Meego version ported by the community would be like CentOS.
