He is cleaning the house, and he may clean the whole company with his decisions, but he tried. NOKIA was otherwise destined for certain death.
Yet again, you're wrong. Anssi Vanjoki was supposed to get the job, and he was going to use MeeGo as Nokia's primary OS. The board wanted Anssi. The only reason Elop got the job was because of pressure from American investors.

And Elop's job was to streamline their operations and use the plan they had implemented before his arrival - which was to migrate symbian users to MeeGo.

If you're going to troll, at least have half a brain
