It doesn't read to me like he actually wants to ditch Meego or Symbian, but he just isn't happy with the rate of progress they are making. It is more likely that this memo is a prelude to a major internal shake-up to cut the in-fighting inside Nokia and to bring their new ideas to market quicker.
I agree with you, that I dont' think Elop alone could make the decision on ditching a flapship product. He just want to change the direction so he used the phase 'burning platform'.

Provided that it's really sending to all Nokia's employees in hope to motivating them, it'd not be a very good motivational memo indeed. I could imagine a picture of the captain shouting for jumping ship on the top of Titanic after reading this memo

BTW, engadget just said they found it in Nokia's employee system, but it didn't say if it's publicly readable by all employees. Provided that it's publicly readable, engadget would not be the single source of information in this case.
