I wouldn't call Elop an idiot, as I believe he's quite happy with how his agenda is going forth. I think he may have managed pretty much what he planned. I just don't like his plan and I don't think Nokia stock holders should, either. He ruined Macromedia too, but I don't think that was an accident either.

However, the reasons I wouldn't buy the MeeGo phone is:
- too many N900 advantages seems to disappear,
- Elop, idiot or not, lit fire on the Symbian platform, which is clearly MeeGo's sister platform, and that (Qt) was one of the biggest advantages to N9 over stock N900,
- Elop poured gasoline over the Maemo/MeeGo Harmattan platform and sold the rescue boats to Microsoft.

It's not about the person Elop, it's about the actions that the person Elop already have done and probably will keep doing for at least two more years.
