But that was at least a year after the memo. They already had an incredibly polished system, Meego. Now Meego like WP7 had the problem of limited apps for the platform, but there were quite a bit more than WP still, largely due to significant OSS apps having been ported. There was also a good development story using the qt framework.

Also at the time of this memo, WP was essentially nonexistent. It was with Nokias switch that they gained some momentum and polish.
