And what do you have to say this time about the shiny future of Meego and Qt?

P.S. I didn't mean to be rude, I know you are just employees.

Get the torches and pitchforks, let's go after Quim!

Kidding. I guess.

He's probably mopping out the saunas and putting up "For Sale" signs somewhere. :P

Poor guy.

I'm really sorry for all the good developers at Nokia working in Meego, Qt, Linux and so many open source projects.

An strategic alliance with MS is the worst scenario for them.

This is unfair - give the guy a break.

He's contributed enormously to the community and is probably just as peed-off as the rest of us.

I would think Quim has a rather tough day at work today.
Please do not make this any harder on him than it needs to be.

It's not his fault Microsoft succeeded in a hostile takeover of Nokia.

No, seriously I'm really sorry for him and all the people working in Meego projects. It's a shame that bad management execution is killing their projects.

Can you imagine that? "Hey guys, format your Linux boxes and install Windows 7 with Visual Studio, tomorrow we will start learning Silverlight".

Don't talk **** about Quim. That guy is probably more broken up about all this than any of us could ever be. He deserves nothing but our sympathy and thanks for everything he's done for us. EVERYTHING.

He didn't exactly burn up the chess world with Miniature...
