I can't believe Nokia did this all in one go!
kill -9 qt
kill -9 meego
kill -9 symbian
kill -9 nokia_admirers
kill -9 open_source_supporters

I actually saw a post somewhere else suggesting that a problem playing a media file on openSUSE might be due to an intentional bug introduced by Novell on Microsoft's behalf to drive users away from Linux and into the arms of Windows 7.
Where have you been the last few years?

MS is struggling for the same reason they did with Vista, they were too arrogant to listen to their users, especially when Server 2008 was a product tailored to their user's needs but Vista is what they thought users would want.

Win7 is a good product, but rather then because of good marketing imho ppl jumped to Win 7 because Vista was just so horrible!

The thing is with the mobile market there is not really a vendor lock in terms of the OS. With PCs people mostly have to buy Windows, with mobiles they have a good range of choice all at roughly the same price (PC vs Mac, is expense).

Damn man that is not funny at all. It's depressing as hell!!! The vision of future technology has just changed forever, no hope whatsoever left for a really open platform for mobile devices (which are going to replace or be totally integrated with) pcs.

Choosing between an OS from Apple, Google or Microsoft is like choosing between a government led by Hitler, Stalin or Genghis Khan. But hey as long as there are choices we can still have the illusion we are free right?

I sincerely hope all you guys who find this funny to be laughing also when all the app stores are filled with nothing but millions of paid-for stupid games and mindless fart apps, or when your future "smart"phones stop working unless you answer an advertising questionnaire or when there is no longer a community like this one to share your shallow thoughts.

nokia played a cruel trick on us, I feel like I have wasted a year and a half of my life looking up info on their upcoming meego devices, I should have just quit when they announced going from maemo to meego, **** them **** all of it.

Seriously, this is about the worst case scenario for Nokia. They totally crapped on their Qt strategy. They gave up Ovi Store to MS. They dumped billions of investment in existing ecosystem an Qt. They lost time. They became just-another-OEM.

Do you think they can sell that much more WP7 phones than they could've sold MeeGo phones that it will mitigate all this?

All the gains are on MS's side:
  • Nokia's crown jewels Ovi Maps will be integrated with WP7/bing
  • Nokia's hardware experience
  • Nokia's albeit somewhat battered reputation

What does Nokia gain?
  • A huge loss of reputation and credibility
  • A market losing OS
  • Stigmatisation for dancing with the devil, and eventually getting stabbed in the back or swallowed up
