I don't believe in management responsibility if their own arse is not on the line.

Elop and his management team have done so much wrong things that you don't need to pull fictional data or conspiracy theories in order to plainly show their incompetence.

I don't know, their job is to run the business regardless of the stock market. The show must go on even though stocks slide.

It seems to me though that WP7 only is a stop gap solution to WP8. Not to say WP8 will be better. Judging by Windows 8 I don't have high hopes for WP8. But even so, if this is true it explains why Elop is still CEO, and it explains why Nokia would go for WP.

If they succeed, the upside will be extreme, the price could tenfolds in a year or two. They need only to do one single thing:
Make a killer of a phone with PureView running WP8. WP8 have to be void of the nonsense limitations of WP7 though, it has to be similar to Symbian in functionality. There is no doubt in my mind that Nokia is more than capable of making such a phone, but is MS capable of making such an OS?
