The Windows thing is quite unlikely. It has so little traction that even if a colossus the size of Nokia deployed it across all their non-featurephone lines, I would bet it is unlikely it will go anywhere. As I have stated before, anyway, I would question the sanity of any Nokia CEO that would get rid of Symbian from the mid-range devices as those still sell in the millions, more than every other competitor combined, nevermind the fact that it looks to be replacing S40.

As for Android, do any of you really think that Nokia will reduce itself to competing with non-name Chinese mass-market OEMs with an OS that still has miniscule marketshare in Nokia's traditionally strongest markets (ie non-USA)? Unlikely - nevermind the fact that they will be hostages to Google's whims at that point.

We will have to wait and see. I would predict reorganisations and changes in middle-management to reflect the new CEOs ideas... You could think of this the way lions treat a pride they just took over. Kill the cubs from the prior adult male and mate with all the lionesses to put their own DNA in the pride. I think that parallels what usually happens with CEO changes in many corporations rather nicely
