Meego 1.1 netbook. Whats the point?

I put Meego 1.1 on a netbook (Eee 1000H). Installation mostly went fine except that the wifi did not work initially. I found the fix described here:

However, wifi still is not totally stable.

As for the UI, I am not sure why one should really bother with Meego on a netbook. The UI is not that easy or intuitive or eye catching etc. and the drivers and applications are mostly standard Linux stuff.
So then why should I get Meego as opposed to say Ubuntu or OpenSuse or any other Linux distro?

Windows Phone 7 business model

I am not sure I understand the business model Microsoft is pursuing with Windows Phone 7. Even if they sell say 10 million phones an year, and assuming say a $25 licensing fee for the OS, they only make $250 million that way which is not a big amount for MS. Sales of apps probably are not a big revenue maker either. Consider each user downloading apps worth $20 per phone MS makes $6 out of it per user giving an additional $60 million. I guess MS is hoping to sell a lot more than 10 million phones per year.
