That's right, Lumiaman, MS are a dead weight dragging NOKIA down. Everything that's good about the Lumias from the hardware to the software (Maps, City Lens, Drive+, etc...) is entirely down to NOKIA. Microsoft's contribution, Windows Phone, is an appalling liability that NOKIA is struggling to overcome.

What would Windows Phone's market share be now if it weren't able to ride on the coat tails of NOKIA's excellent hardware/software? So small the needle wouldn't twitch.
The hardware is good, but OS needs maturing. Unfortunately when you start on a nascent platform, it will require maturing. The hope here is that MS ecosystem will accelerate success after a certain tipping point. There is no doubt that MS ecosystem has a much greater potential than anything that NOKIA had softwarewise at the time. There is no doubt that MS is much better at software engineering than NOKIA. That is crystal clear.
