Nokia Ovi App Store, not just a disaster, a COMPLETE disaster

Here's a Washington Post piece (via TechCrunch) about how the Nokia Ovi App Store launch today was not just a disaster, but a complete disaster (their words).

See:

A Total Failure

Here's a quote: 

 Today sees the worldwide roll-
 out of Nokia's Ovi Store, the 
 company's response to Apple's 
 App Store... Here's the thing: 
 the launch is an utter disaster 
 and I assume (hope) Nokia 
 executives are outraged with 
 the way things are going.
Everyone knows the first rule of proper engineering is to plan for the Worst-Case Scenario (not the typical or best case scenario). Heck, even Scotty from Star Trek multiplies his worst-case scenarios by a factor of four to be safe. Well, not every company instills good engineering I guess.
