I did not realize that. Well said--and it makes it that much more of a shameful and tragic turn of events that Nokia would end up where they are today, then. Well played, Microsoft. Nokia's executives should be spit upon in public and ridiculed in shame for the obvious and overt bad decisions they've made to bring things to this point. The worst of which was to bring Elop onboard and then let Microsoft in the doors as their new masters.
