You heard it from Lumiaman! Open up all that source code you aren't keeping close to the vest, Nokia! You're NOT a software company! Stop with all that softwaring and give it to the community!

To continue the theme of beating a dead horse, the best and most relevant thing said in the article:

"So today Microsoft, after dumping Zune, dumping its tablet, dumping Windows CE and other mobile products, is still the same company Mr. Ballmer took control over a decade ago. Microsoft is PC company, nothing more, as demand for PCs shifts to mobile. Years late to market, he has bet the company on Windows 8 – as well as the future of Dell, HP, Nokia and others. An insane bet for any CEO – and one that would have been avoided entirely had the Microsoft Board replaced Mr. Ballmer years ago with a CEO that understands the fast pace of technology shifts and would have kept Microsoft current with market trends."

Well said, Adam Hartung. Well said.
