I thought the same thing. It would be a huge slap in the face if the N9 turns out to be very popular. This leak feels like "damage control". Which seems silly, there is no reason you can't release phones with WP7 and MeeGo.

The release of the N9 and demo videos really brings Elop and Co's statements about the emperor having no clothes with regards to MeeGo into question. Looking back that appears to be negative marketing to justify the ms partnership.

No one said MeeGo was a bad OS. Nokia just didn't have the money to follow through. They ran out of runway.
