But MS will rule the business PC market for a long time yet, and all MS/Nokia has to do is simply to make tablets and smartphones with seamless integration with business and games, and they will carve out a large market share. That integration need only be a similar(ish) look and feel and access to the same online services.
You obviously did not get my point. Seamless integration of different devices and different services from different companies is possible if open standards are established. That is exactly what we should aim for. I don't want to buy everything from one brand/one manufacturer. I think this locking in in so called ecosystems its the biggest ripoff (or better will be) in the consumer electronics market ever. Its only goal is to establish monopolies and to eliminate smaller competitors. Fighting the google empire (hopefully google+ fails) with microsoft is like fighting fire with fire. Nokia and all other freedom-loving manufacturers and service-providers should put everything in establishing open standards, its what nokia always aimed for and what they're giving up now.
