Are you sure they didn't end up with the ones who simply needed a job enough to just do what the Microsoft management wanted, not necessarily the smarted or most innovative things? After all.. Nokia didn't exactly *DO* Anything with the operating system--they just made the crappy hardware it ran on.

Just like the time they spent too much on the devices and services company Danger Inc? How did THAT turn out, by the way?

It failed because even MS could not by the company that day. Plan B was to trim down and see if there is busines with MS. Did not work so back to plan A.
Your plan B was actually Elop's plan A, remember? I seem to recall Elop stating that there WAS no plan B, so so much for your other theory. :P
