Tizen was launched in 2012, not sure that would count as early 2000s! But I had colleagues who were also working with the Tizen team, and that's when I learned it'll never fly. Samsung just didn't have the software engineering mindset required for it.
The short version of the story is that I was working with one of the Samsung mobile engineering teams for Vodafone 360 (look it up). The other team was the Galaxy team.
