Nokia will not help it. I would be happy either way. Takeover means I will male some money off NOKIA stocks and if not, I will still male money with Nokias push with MS into the US market. Win win for me
Naysayers, especially the absolutists, seem to be completely ignoring what's been going on this year.

Would you have seen Microsoft buying Skype last year?

Would you have seen Google buying Motorola last year?

I'm betting not. We're in a patent-driven Singularity right now, where all bets are off-- even some seemingly rational ones. Tech companies are spending billions on other tech companies on pure defensive motives-- THAT is profound.

Nokia is very close to a make-or-break position, stock-wise, and the longer it hovers there the more likelly SOMEone is going to make a play for all or part of the company. Again, the assets are just too attractive... especially at today's bargain share price... and companies with a vested interest in Nokia's success, like Microsoft, HAVE to be nervous right now.

Just watch.
