Dear Ossi,

I wasn't even addressing corporate governance in my post. I had made it to merely illustrate why the initial suspicions about a top MS executive taking over as Nokia CEO exist in the first place.

Where we come from and what we stand (or have stood) for does, however, say something about us.

That was the point I was making.

Of course I wasn't exactly pleased with your "linux idiots" or "wish tru3 un1x p3ople would have grown up" generalizations.

You see a few conspirary theorists and a few who slam the new guy from the get go. Just let these folks vent if that's what they want.

But you're not exactly unlike them by jumping into conclusions and making hostile generalizations. So really, just chill already.

Again, I merely made a few points why initial suspicions exist but I also ended my comment by saying that I'm giving him a chance to prove himself.

So, shoot me for not throwing myself at Mr Elop's feet already!


PS. I don't mind actually discussing corporate governance issues with you elsewhere if that's what you want, but wrt. Mr Elop it's still too early for me to draw any clear conclusions about his actual ambitions (for Nokia) or his management style.

Like most Nokia watchers, I'm welcoming changes at the top, but my expectations are tempered by Elop's past involvement in highly proprietary sections of the tech industry.

I suppose we'll find out soon enough.
