That isn't strictly true.

In 2011, Elop sat down with the Meego team to discuss the roadmap for Meego devices. What he found was that their roadmap consisted of releasing 3 devices between 2011 and 2014. Apparently, that was the "Oh *****, we're fcuked" moment that then motivated Elop to get into discussions with Google and Microsoft. Google never even tried to cut a deal to get Nokia onboard, so that left Microsoft as the only partner.
