Default MeeGo borrowing from webOS?

Looks like MeeGo is implementing some sort of "cards" feature to their OS. What at your thoughts? Might anyone consider switching?

Sorry. Forgot the link.

Most companies either coping, or duplication the style and performance of Hp/Palm. I thought we were the company most doesn't notice.

I don't think it's anything to worry about. I have tried MeeGo's netbook platform and was not impressed. I understand that the netbook version of MeeGo is completely different, but thought I'd mention it.

It's a good thing Palm didn't copy anyone for any portion of webOS.
