Bye bye Ubuntu, and in particular the Debian universe and .debs...

Glad I held off getting the Nokia Maemo 5 device (aka N900). Not that I ever expected Nokia to start providing longer-term support for Maemo than what they've shown in the past, but if N900 doesn't run Maemo 6 ^^^ Meego like a champ... uh.

Likely there won't be any more resources thrown at this joint project, but apparently Intel and Nokia will try coordinating their existing resources more effectively.

What I find to be a potential conflict of interest is that Intel, handling the core OS, has in their interests to favour x86 over ARM while Nokia has in theirs to favour handheld devices (probably just mobile phones) over larger devices like netbooks and plain tablets.
