I'm a bit surprised that the rest of the executives at Nokia even hired him on (or at least surprised they even let him talk about using Microsoft) given he still owns so much stock in what is/was a competitor.

So, asking for proof/evidence as a way to solidly confirm or to plausibly deny something stated as a fact, whether I want to agree with it or not, is now zealot behavior? I laughed. Hard.

It's a plan which has already proven itself a failure thus far. This is like watching someone drive full-speed off a cliff and fall to their death, while still shouting at onlookers with the absolute confidence that the road doesn't end at the cliff. No amount of confidence will make that reality happen on a whim where no bridge was ever even so much as planned much less funded and built.

If you want to argue that WP7 is that bridge, it's clearly a bridge that very few trust--judging from the outcome of sales--but Elop is perfectly willing to take that massive Nokia big-rig across, even through the bridge is shaking and creaking something ugly and scary.

I told you! The more this guy opens his mouth, the more he confirms my feeling that he might in fact be clinically stupid.

I'm genuinely surprised somebody didn't do this with chairs instead of WP7 phones. Nice find, btw!
