these are realistic features - why not see if there are not already feature requests filed on bugs.meego.com, and write them if they are missing? > - mp3, avi, x264 (and so on) support -> flash is embedded so why not > the others non-free-but-must-have tools (or easy to install after > OS-install) ? Unfortunately, these codecs are not free. So they have no place in the "free" version of MeeGo. You can get them with a preinstalled version of MeeGo though, most vendors will likely include them. > - someting to copy/move/view my data (sorry, i'm an old guy and i think > meego open and free sofware must have a file manager, new users who > comes from linux or others os are happy to understand where there data > are, not in the cloud, not in hidden partition, meego is an open source > project, why users can't look at under the face ?) They can, because it's MeeGo. While it's unlikely that most vendors will ship meego with nautilus linked on the desktop, it's not preventing you from doing yourself.
