And exacly the same could happen if they continued Symbian/Meego and Qt instead of trying to kill it by going WP7. Its just garbage Elop is trying to tell you and others.
Symbian already had its chance to be the smartphone OS of choice for other OEMs, and they turned their backs on it. Similarly, there's been no legitimate attempts made at a MeeGo smartphone outside the N9 itself.

Its all the same they run WP7 down your throat and then saying "this is what you want to use". Same way as it always has been

This is not freedom its what I call capitalist diktatur where the biggest companys dictates what you should use...
The only real alternative to that would be an OEM that allows the customer to choose their OS of choice at point-of-sale, and that's a long way off, if ever even a possibility.

If you don't like WP7, that's fine; vote with your wallet. Again, benefit of a capitalist marketplace. Nokia is using WP7 as its primary platform, much like Sony Ericsson & Motorola use Android. What Nokia are actually saying is "This is what we think the market would like to see in a product". They may be right, or they may be wrong; no reasonable conclusion can be derived yet. However, I am very willing to conclude that you're an idiot.
