Microsoft actually upgraded their aging OS to a new version... how's the Maemo to MeeGo transformation going, even with MeeGo being a whole lot of Moblin underneath? Help from Microsoft can't make things worse for Nokia, only better. They haven't imploded the company! They've actually gained a working OS that's being brought up to speed at a very quick rate. How is that a bad thing? They went with the partner that will give them major input on shaping how the OS works, which they would not have been able to get from Google. How is that a bad thing? Other companies put WP7 on their phones and no one screamed that companies like HTC or Dell were going to go out of business as a result. Why is this going to kill Nokia? Seriously... it would be nice if someone predicting the end of Nokia would explain why this is so bad. Please keep in mind that almost no one outside this website knows who or what a MeeGo is or uses Linux or knows what root means in a computer sense when forumulating your explanations. Also please note that the zillion iPhone users show that phone buyers don't view software as politics or ideology. Thanks.
Better? Nokia are fragmenting their product line even more, unless they decide to do a Jobs and say screw you xxxx is no longer supported.

Elop ex microsoft man, now again a microsoft man giving a decent mobile division to ms.

Microsoft failed in the mobile market, WM7 gets trashed coz of it's predecessor's bad rep, Nokia are now taking on this bad rep.

What worries me is what Elop will do with Nokia's patent portfolio...
