You have to read the comments as well to get a more balanced view , but you probably have.

What's wrong with Elop is that he doesn't seem all that bright. He doesn't really understand what is going on, or he has massive opposition within Nokia, leaking info that when taken out of context, makes him look stupid and clumsy. Maybe a bit of both.

But the erosion within Nokia started years ago, and has continued ever since. All that was needed in 2007 was to renew Symbian, but they didn't even though it should have started years before that. Instead they got Qt in the hope that it would by magic be much better simply by adding yet another layer on top. And the talk about MeeGo, the N9 doesn't even run MeeGo, it runs Maemo that has been developed over 5 years now, and it runs on a processor chipset that is more or less identical to he N900. MeeGo does still not exist in a usable form on ARM (phones). I mean, the situation was unbelievable, Maemo was neglected for Symbian, but Symbian was also neglected because it was such a mess that no one wanted to really clean it up. I bet Elop talked to Maemo/MeeGo guys who told him that Symbian was a complete mess, then he talked to Symbian guys who told him that MeeGo would never be finished. They were all telling the truth. Now, when a lot of dead weight has been removed from the teams, they finally starts to deliver, the N9, Symbian Anna (still messed up or not). Dead weight includes lots of previous key personnel working at Nokia R&D.

But Tomi still hasn't understood what the "next billion" is about, and that is disappointing. Instead he uses it to bash Elop, when this clearly is Nokias main strategy forward, and what is going to save this burning platform.
