For which I do not like (I'm afraid?) All sorts of Linux (open source operating systems) there - because distributions appear like mushrooms after rain. Everyone is different, with its own characteristics, cockroaches, etc. - it’s the same as many people will do to assemble Miranda and will impose them on everyone else. I don’t know about you, but I just can’t (don’t want?) To understand such a chaos - that’s probably why I’m working perfectly in Windows and I’m awfully waiting for the moment when the first MeeGo device falls into my hands :)

But on the other hand, it seems that this is one of the main advantages for all the others - such a full-fledged freedom with many alternatives. Well, if this is so, then you should post a plus - because MeeGo, it seems, will not be an exception :)

Successes!
