That's could be their ways and intentions, I'm not too worry about, here or there we still have to live with.

Not really fighting. I'd say them are disappointment words based on my experience and from that experience will be my conclusion that camera with Linux brains will be brainless camera. (Hint: I'm not M$ guy, I'm unix systems administrator and network engineer)

Completely agree! And this applies to my favorite FreeBSD as well
Everything has own place, platform and area of usage.
Nikon does perfect job and embeded software in the cameras just perfect (as something may be perfect in the modern world)
