How WP7 is any different?
Android was peeing in pants because it'd give Nokia a short term benefit but long term negative because they'd switch to an OS where they had no real influence.

WP7 is pouring gasoline on the platform you stand, then lighting fire on it without having a rescue boat ready. Nokia realized their boat were sinking some time in the future so they bombed it, throwing passengers and sailors alike into the cold waters, with no hope for short term rescue. And again, they'd switch to an OS where they had no real influence.

That's how WP7 is different.

Bounced up from a new low at $ 5.28 today.
