I find it hard to see they have anything up their sleeve. N9 was a great phone with awesome OS, which was not used to it's potential. Nokia had a great ecosystem up their sleeve, it was pure linux comming to the masses with they even tapping in with the app store. So they should have something really big on plans or then it's jus plain old MS.

Maybe there was microsoft share holders inside Nokia that saw this communistic/anarchistic product a comming, which made the US capitalist rise their war hammer to defend their values of freedom to make money at what price nessecary, be it civilization or evolution of culture or what ever to be sacrificed. I hope it's not the case, I guess there is still people in Oulu, that work on meltemi. At least someone is propably still working on pr 1.3...

Other thing might be that microsoft could have a same kind of opensource strategy at their mind, since based on what I see on my laptop and phone right now I find it even very probable that linux is going to go mainstream at any moment. Win 8 is quite likely a crappy ui, badly ripped from gnome3... not much new there. They need to evolve to level with google. Apple has still their closed business model and the hip people buy their products... What ever, it's pretty interesting times I know Linux is competitive enough right now to be the OS my mother uses. It's open source crashing through baby

...or rather slowly and unavoidably crawling through
