NOKIA's software had already severely kicked Windows Mobile's balls. All the good software on the Lumias originates from NOKIA. Microsoft, on the other hand, has a toxic reputation for their software.

You do know Windows Phone 7 was really Windows CE, right? 'New and nascent'

I'm an executive director and shareholder of a manufacturing company. We've made much more profit than NOKIA in the time Elop has been in charge. I'm also an executive director and shareholder of another company with a portfolio of residential rental properties in the UK. I'm currently contemplating buying a holiday resort in Cornwall too.

Sorry to burst your bubble.
