Hmmm... is it time to open a betting pool thread? Everyone has their own crazy predictions, it's time to log them up somewhere neat. - Will Nokia's condition improve within the next 12 months? - Will Elop be credited to sink or safe Nokia within the next 12 months? - Will there be any MeeGo* devices from Nokia past N950/N9? - Will Nokia be bought out by another company? (if yes, by whom)
I sincerely doubt it, even if they turned around and started doing everything right, I think it's too late. It's like trying to slow a down-hill run-away car back after it's been gaining months of speed heading downhill and then trying to push it back up to the top.
Yes, I'm certain he'll be credited with sinking this ruined company--he already has been. I can't see how he can be credit with anything but turning Nokia into his next ruined Kin project.
I'm convinced that there won't be, sadly.
Probably yes, most likely by Microsoft since it appears to me as if there's a barely discrete effort to undermine the existing and legacy workforce, products and services, stock, brand and morale.
