Their potential is to hurt competitors by whatever means. Let's hope WP7 won't get enough market share to hurt others. It's enough that MS monopolized desktop field already.

OK, good news for carriers (if they get rid of skype too, that is)
But bad news for me. I'm out. Live free or die.

if there is a meego/harmattan phone from nokia it will have the EXACTLY the same fate as the n900 being a niche super geek phone with a limited market and a community to pick up the support slack...
thats because maemo and meego are treated like frankenstein theres no love for the OS from its creator

Not to be OT, I think MeeGo will be the Android of desktop... but will just be one of many variants in the x86/x64 market. It will shine in cars, devices and phones IMHO...

MS have got more dev's than probably any other company in this world and that makes a difference for once but please don't give up on Nokia, wait and see what comes?.

and Nokia could very well make the "ideal" hardware platform for the OS whatever they decide on.We already know it will not be MeeGo or Maemo but i have a feeling it will not be a WP7 OS either or at least not the WP7 we know.
