Just because I'm arguing Elop's line of tactics here it doesn't mean the outcome will suit me personally - far from it, in fact:

Give me a choice of (what I've heard of) WP Mango and Meego/Harmattan and I'd go for the latter for so many reasons I can't put them down here, but my one purchase will not keep Nokia afloat.

got a 2nd as good as new N900 a couple weeks ago & they will have to do 'til... well, either NOKIA's management comes to its senses or some S-E Asiatic company jumps into the void & sells hundreds of thousands or even millions of MeeGo devices w/ hw kbd, even without SWIP

that would be a N950, right

You've hit the core of the matter: individuals like me, and minorities like ours do not matter now; this is about Nokia's survival.

And that is why WP is the best path for Nokia to follow.

completely agree, except for the last sentence
i'm not saying wp will remain a total failure (as it is factually now).
m$ has... the $$$$$$$ to back it until companies start warming to the idea to be able to manage the employees' mobile phones from the same servers they manage their laptops and can restrict their rights on it the same way, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera

might not happen over night

no big deal for m$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, they are getting 'nough $$$$$ every time someone buys a PC or laptop.

right now, NOKIA has pretty much burnt all bridges.
unless the 1st W device is a bigger hit then the N8 and every W device after that an even bigger success, NOKIA will end up pants around their ankles with nothing left to sell.

EDIT: except their factories, goodwill & other intellectual properties
