Yes this is very true to say because we all know the hatred even on here for Microsoft due to the very reasons you have said and there is the problem no matter what or how good the WP device is that many will boycott it because of the already exsisting hatred for MS.

People say Elop is doing the right thing and in some parts he is by getting out staff within Nokia that have failed Nokia in the past with software development BUT he seems to have put all his eggs in one basket with this joint venture and totally obliterated all of Nokia's os's from one end to the other.

Looking at it from a pure business perspective he has obvivously left himself nothing but WP and that is looking to be a fatal situation, relying on purely one os and nothing else.

No news from the Nokia stable of anything but WP so we are all in for a rough ride i think.

Incidently i have also noticed more and more Nokia outlets are shut down and still shutting down so it is not looking good is it, rather like what everyone seems to be saying ... The beggining of the end.

How far will this so called Nokia loyalty go i wonder !, let's see how many fanboys are going to be left .
