NOKIA became a necessity as the largest producer of WP devices. MS strategy is to get into mobile space by all means possible, they had to buy NOKIA so that they could control it. I wouldnt be surprised if they Blackberry too.

On the other hand, I suspect that good people will leave. Marko Antisaari is departing in November. That is a blow.
