Either way, it's less money.
i perfectly agree that they made the "smart" choice given the situation.
what i was asking is whether IBM, HP, m$ (of course...) and many more wouldn't be happier (= making more money) in a world without GNU/Linux...
the fact that we, customers, would be poorer for it is a different story.
and i think we all agree that the mobile phone world would be a lot poorer without Maemo (RIP) and the N900.
obviously, that didn't help NOKIA, now, did it?
