I truly do not believe that Microsoft needs to buy Nokia.

Now what would you do with the company you want to buy? Nourish it and increase its value, so you have to pay more when you finally put the money down?

This is Microsoft we're talking about here. Back in the Bill Gates days, he would have done that so the FTC would not come knocking on their door. A much smarter move than the "crush their balls" technique of Ballmer. I'm quite sure there will be an investigation and/or blockage of a Microsoft/Nokia buyout.

Elop has only one goal: Drive Nokia's market value to the ground, so Microsoft can easily pick up what's left of them.

I disagree. He might just be in place to get rid of Nokia and even the playing field by taking the 15+ year champ off the map completely.

All are theories; in due time we'll find out who's right, who's wrong.
