Remember that Microsoft isn't here to make money. Out of hundreds of Microsoft divisions, only two actually turn a profit -- Windows and Office.

The same pattern is at work with the Microsoft-Nokia 'partnership'.
Really?

Take a look at these numbers:

Microsoft, as any corporation (Google, Apple, etc) is in the business to make money. Just because they aren't making money right now doesn't mean they won't be going to make it later. Just look at the entertainment division, they were bleeding cash a few years ago, and now it's profitable.
