Ok now lets assume one does not care about meego and only about what the end user sees, i.e. the UX. So we'll see the swipe UI on s40, maybe even with some kind of multitasking. Why does nokia need wp7 then? They'd rather stengthen the Qt ecosystem by making meego for high-end.
Whatever.
Whatever.

I think what he's getting at there is that MeeGo isn't what's important.
The N9 is essentially running MeeGo "Lite"
The look and feel they achieved could probably be done on many other platforms if Qt is a success.

They also notice that Nokia is challenged both by Apple who offers alternative approach to Microsoft reign and Google who happens to be Internet giant.
Outcome is this: they want "familiar" computer experience to be piped into Nokia handsets. "Oh. It would be so cool to have my word documents synced there" .. "Oh.. Xbox, my son wants to play all the time" etc.
It's (desktop) mainstream. And these poor board members think that Nokia doesn't have assets at all to participate into this game.
It's so amazing and frustrating..
