N9 is running different variant/version of MeeGo; N9 is running MeeGo Harmattan, which is sort of Maemo6 evolution to MeeGo. This variant/version is maintained by Nokia.
You can check out YouTube for the actual MeeGo UI, there're differences. The N900 is capable to run the actual MeeGo.

PR1.1 has been released. PR 1.2 and PR 1.3 are confirmed coming. Beyond that I wouldn't worry if there is going to be a PR1.4. Ask yourself, if you have an Android phone how many updates can you expect? Usually only 1 and if you are lucky, 2. After that either the hardware is too old or the manufacturer cannot be bothered to upgrade their old models.
The nature of Meego being an open os means that developers can access the os to customize and add features which cannot be done in closed os like ios or WP7. So you can expect the os to keep improving.
Added on December 1, 2011, 1:18 pmAndy, he's asking about os updates, not os versions.
Thanks a lot for the answers guys.. i am not doubting the meego nor the phone.. i am slightly paranoid because I am currently using a phone whose OS (Symbian s60v5) had been discontinued (i think) and support for it is almost all-time low.. I bought this phone less than a year ago, and its price has taken a plummet to almost 50% of the price now (perhaps i had been ripped)..
those weren't the major issues, the major issues is the phone requires to be send back to the factory twice in less than a year (1 sent back, 1 scheduled to send back) with the touch screen issue and internal speaker issue. This 2 issues are consider major issues because it gives me alot of problem to actually use a phone as a phone (make phone calls or send sms)..
so i am currently looking for a new phone to save me from these miseries.. from what I read, N9 seems to be a pretty good phone? for now i don't have much question except for the OS updates that I was asking because I really not that familiar with meego. as a matter of fact, it's the 1st time I heard of it when i read about this phone.. (my apologies, i didn't research a lot on phone OS.. very out of date).

will spend some time lurking in this thread to see more about this N9.
