I can't help wondering how the whole situation is being described in the article. It's like a bad act of a local summer theater.

These two guys are the CEO and Chief Development Officer of the world's largest handset manucacturer, and one could imagine they always know the latest news and development status of the company's most important operating system project - MeeGo. But not in this case, as they describe it. They just get a whitepaper marked with different colors in January, and all of a sudden they both realize that MeeGo isn't going to be ready.

Come on. If this really is true, how come Öistämö still works as a CDO in Nokia? He's the one who should constantly know every single bit of the latest process, when it comes to MeeGo.

Either this is just a badly written story to make MS partnership look better, or really, really bad management.
