Exactly.

If they want W7, they get W7. I see no problem here. Not in implementation (hardware is pretty standard),
Of course there are no technical difficulties, but just the question of why?

not in conflict of interests (multiple OSs run now just fine, one more won't matter).
Note that the OSs that Nokia uses right now are "controlled" by them. They are not subject to the whims of any other company.

Don't know if it will happen or not, but I certainly see little problem. In fact, since Windows has little allegiance to one line of products (there's a truck full of stuff running Win)
Er, just because MS wants to pollute everything with Windows, doesn't mean Nokia wants the same.

I can't think of an instance where having the option to switch from Linux to Windows would hurt sales.
People who use Linux tends to know what they want, and most times it is not Windows.

Frankly, I'm not entirely sure why N900 doesn't run a CE as an option already.
Because it would probably require 2 times the hardware specs to achieve a similar performance as maemo (and probably 3 times the hardware specs to achieve a similar performance to Symbian). Never mind the crashes, lockups, resets.
