I can live without the maximize button, as long as the app is maximized on default :-). What really makes me hate MeeGo netbook UX (and I have used it daily since the week before the MeeGo conference in Dublin) is the alt-tab animation. That and the big window title bar. Though that sort of helped make the Ideapad usable: with the touchpad broken, the big titlebar at least meant I could hit the close button using the touch screen.

It's certainly funny how many people who criticised the design decisions of meego netbook then say things like 'but at least it helped make (insert horrible failing of netbook hardware) matter less'. Almost like it was designed around those horrible hardware failings.

And yes, I know that the touchpad on the S10-3t actively doesn't work (as opposed to just not work very well) but it's indicative, in our measurement and experience the target areas that a user can hit with a typical netbook touchpad are roughly equivalent to those you can hit with your finger.
