[Liverpool] Meego - on non-mobile devices

[Sebastian Arcus]

 From my point of view the best bit about this news is that, coming with 
Meego, it will not "benefit" from the Compulsory Antipiracy Monopolistic 
OS (TM) tax - which will make it even cheaper and avoids wasting money 
on a software license which otherwise can't be avoided (without going to 
extra trouble). Of course, if I get one, the first thing that happens to 
it is the latest Slackware install ;-)

But that's just me.
