Microsoft, your platform is on fire
 
"MICROSOFT, YOUR PLATFORM IS ON FIRE" in blog entry "Will the Real Stephen Elop, Please Stand Up?" by Tomi Ahonen. Really interesting read about mr. Elop with quotations of his recent public speeches.

Have fun! :D:D

Nice blog, emotional and honest. I really don't know if all of it is true, but he does make it sound true and i wholeheartedly agree with him.

Very good blog indeed. Looks like Elop finally gets some clues on what Nokia is doing, what industry his company is onto and what products his company is selling.

Quote:

A Stephen Elop Nokia CEO on June 1:
"Nokia has a long history of serving customers at all price points. Thats something we have to be willing to continue to do, using Windows Phone as the smartphone platform to do so." (On next day, June 2 same Stephen Elop admits Microsoft not good fit for 80% of Nokia's phones.)
That was an awkward moment for a CEO of Nokia. :D

Me too! I hope so deeply that Tomi would be right and Elop were doomed. Nokia Board Wake up!

His arguments sounds reasonable.

Tomi Ahonen is always fun to read, but I always take everything he say with a grain of salt. He has been totally off the target on many occasions and extremely biased at times, but still one of the best. Now, heading off to Tomis blog :D

I beggining to think Elp will not be longlived. But biggest problem is how the contract with Microsoft looks :(
