WP + Nokia = cool ecosystem, cool devices, cool OS for high end, future proof.
Symbian + Nokia = cool OS subcontracted to accenture, cool devices. Uncertain future, but as long as there is demand and WP isn't pushed down to lower end...
Harmattan = question mark, but will provide synergy with Symbian.
S40 = Future proof, cheap devices, web apps, next billion and so on.

My point is this: WP is high end and it will take several years before WP is pushed down to mid end (as stated by Elop). Therefore, nothing is better for Nokia right now, than Symbian doing well. I'm happy, my E6 is happy.
Apart from you who actually thinks anything around WP7 is actually "cool"? Of all the OS's it is probably the least "cool" at present and Nokia seems to be becoming just as uncool as well.

As far as Symbian is concerned if it is the best for Nokia at present why as Elop tried to destroy it with his burning platform memo? If he had just suggested WP7 would replace meego in the high end devices Symbian devices would have kept selling, even if Elop did eventually intend moving over to S40 for these devices.
