Well, he's not wrong, in the sense that Nokia has hitched their wagon WP. If WP fails, then Nokia does too. So of course Nokia wants it to succeed. Success will mean that other hardware makers will want to use it too.

The best possible result here is that Nokia gets to be just another Microsoft OEM. Hopefully the biggest. They are shooting to be the Dell of phones. Which I guess is better than being bankrupt, but it isn't exactly an exciting future either. They will have to live on small profit margins and pretty much jettison any hope of doing serious R&D.
