The only scenario where someone like Elop gets to stay on the CEO chair is the scenario where the board has a use for him. That's just a simple fact.

I believe that the boards use for the north american Microsoft-connected CEO has expired. We'll see.
Nokia is dead.

Microsoft or Huawei will buy Nokia > Q4 2013.

The fight will stand between Huawei and Microsoft, and if Huawei they dish WP and add SailfishOS

So I am not sure Elop is over yet. If Huwaei gives better price Microsoft will pay more for Nokia. Microsoft desperatly needs Nokia. Nokia has alot of good HW engineers. Selling those to china would hurt USA/Europe even more.
