Stephen is not that stupid. He knows what he's doing and the aim is to hurt Linux on embedded market and maybe to sink Nokia if that's what it takes.

Tell me one single action by him that has raised Nokia's market value? I bet you find it hard to find any.

Now how about actions that have brought the share value down? Too many to count. Or actions to kill platforms that are direct competitors with Microsoft?

Sorry, but I find it - from day one of the partnership -, that Nokia is in bed with Microsoft against it's own interests. BoD seems like bunch of ignorants dancing by MS tune into eventual downfall of Nokia. They seem to have no clue about realities of the industry and where the trends lay.

Instead of listening to current and potential customers, they listen to MS shills whispering to their ears comfortable lies about how WP whatever will save Nokia.

Microsoft simply couldn't afford letting Intel and Nokia push Linux to mobile and embedded space at full force. In face of such competition they had to act and that action was coinvincing US shareholders and Nokia BoD to hire Elop instead of originally planned Vanjoki (who favored Linux as the future platform for Nokia).

Maybe I am wrong, but atleast in the light of all evidence, it makes more sense than thinking that Elop is just stupid and has no bias towards MS platform.

@Nokia: Either way, I got my N9 and it rocks. Thank you Nokia. As you've got no more of that coming, please fu(k off.
