If we read updated FAQ between the lines I begining to wonder:
first of I really think N9 will be supported but question is how? Could it actually be in a different way than FOSS people like me hopes
something abill_uk and erisson will like too
Just say they Nokia in a half year and saying "you will now get a free upgrade to wp8" Yeha..o
that would be the best strategy for wp fanboys like abilluk/ericsson and mrflop.
but at tthe same time. I dont care cause I know MeegoCE will continue same way as linux on desktop. The FOSS will continue pissing on MrFlop wp strategy.
and you REALLY need to read marxian's post above me to see why your a dreamer.WP is where it is going Mike unlike meego not going anywhere and the realists of this world tend to go with the trend unlike you.
Get to reality Mike or your dreams will be shattered for sure sorry to tell you.

Just some OT irony for those that can handle it
Being lurking over at forums.precentral.net for the past 2 weeks. I think we should all join up...they have lost all their dinky WebOS toys and there is doubt about the future of WebOS.
SImilar to TMO/Nokia Land...we have lost all our dinky Maemo/Meego toys and there is no doubt about the future of Maemo/Meego and Nokia
yeah very constructive I guess this is what the HP CEO and Nokiia CEO likes. make sure FOSS dies with negative feelings in all forums.
No thanks its enought with a dying TMO...

It will be like pissing in an ocean. Nobody will notice.
MeeGo does not (and probably never will) have the critical mass of users necessary to ensure longevity. Andriod (for example) does, which is why there is so much development activity on that platform. There is a good chance that, in a couple of years time (maybe less), any MeeGo devs will have moved on to the next big promise.
No hardware == no users == no devs == no future
Some on here are soooo blinkered it is unreal

Dreamers change the world so that you one day will have what you didn't thought was possible. I'm a dreamer and love tech. With or without a future!

Again I prefer choices you may dislike it but dont piss on the fosscommunity efforts. In the long run also Android will loose on those Microosft deals Nokia doing now!
So I prefer not to be blind like all android fanboys here. Webos and Meego is killed by the companys. Android is next just wait and see. And I dont say this to make fun of it like you do in case of Meego but stop piss on the FOSS community efforts like QT/Meego your totally stupid if you thiink Google Android works without efforts from the rest of the Linux community. And that include Meego!
Were all in the same boat!!!

I reserve judgement but nobody can deny that Microsoft and Noka wil give it the best they have got, as to how it will end up is the reason i reserve judgement obviously.

But it DOES have one clear advantage over WebOS and even the floundering Windows Phone 7 (or case history in BeOS, Geos, GEM, etc.) in that it IS FOSS and has the potential for resurrection and awareness at any time without worrying about getting mothballed forever so long as SOMEBODY is willing to continue supporting it for exactly the reason that is IS free and available at any time while the source code is available.

Sadly, Nokia really did seem to do everything it could to kill it -- thanks in major part to Elop's intentional murder of Maemo & MeeGo, but also to OVP for his neglect over time.
