You *really* don't know intel's involvement in Meego, do you?

Do you really think that having the 'intel' name on the project means that intel is gung ho involved?

Intel 'contributed' the moblin project, to have it merged with Nokia's Maemo = Meego.

Nokia desperately needed an mobile solution, and intel conveniently wanted to extricate themselves from Moblin. Mission accomplished.

If that wasn't enough to measure the level to which Meego is doomed, it will be hosted by the Linux Foundation (and I hope that's the limit of its involvement).

Trust me, this is just Nokia being involved, once all the pretty releases have been forgotten.

Intel wanted to extricate themselves from Moblin? Then why not just drop it?

Admit it, you've been reading the first paragraph of another blog post and you're quoting it as fact again, aren't you?

Sometimes I think you have your tongue so far up Steve Job's arse that you don't bother to believe that other platforms exist, or if you do, you're mentally blocking them out.

Neither Maemo nor Moblin on their own were going to win in a battle for a truly Mobile OS. Working together is a great fit for both companies.

You probably will try and argue that I(diot)OS is the best thing since sliced bread, but that is of course only true of you are dumb enough *only* to buy Apple shit.

Come on Daffy, show me the link to the Apple fanboi blog that said Intel are trying to dump Moblin onto Nokia.
