I'm worried too, but Nokia didn't need to get an MS exec to switch to Windows, they'd just do it if they wanted to and save the expense of changing CEO's. I'd hope Elop gets behind the Meego strategy and gives 100% to make it work. The benefit to Nokia is control over the OS, the look and feel and a chance to dominant, versus looking the same as other manufacturers devices using W7 or Andriod. If it doesn't work out in a year or two then things may change, but that was always a possibility. Meego has a chance to be big, it just needs to get out there and start selling.
