Nokia may fail us but Linux lives on
 
Though Nokia failed us in rolling out the PR 1.2 today, Ubuntu released their Lynx (10.04) today.... this at least makes my day.

its more like nokia failed linux. the point of linux is the kernel updates as it goes while new versions being created and let other software to update to it when they need to. not hold all the crap back n nobody could even possibly test their software. the whole bulk of periodic firmware release is fail already in how linux works.

ubuntu 9.10 for example, they kernel sometimes updates weekly if they need to, not hold the whole thing up until they think all bugs r squeezed.

good 'ol Linux is trusty indeed. In this case embodied by Canonical and their fine Ubuntu distro.

Nokia however has NOT failed us in any particular way today, since they never told aynone they would release anything today. All the rumor mongers has failed us (exactly as expected), since they constantly fuel the fires of unfulfilled expectations.

I await and look forward to PR1.2 as much as the next guy, but all the hysteria we see in e.g. the Speculations-thread is ridiculous.

If we should blame Nokia for anything, it should be the fact that they upgraded the build servers to PR1.2 instead of providing separate PR1.2 build servers, while still retaining the existing PR1.1.1 ones, so new apps and updates could still be released.

That was fixed about a week or two ago.
