All the gains are on MS's side:
  • Nokia's crown jewels Ovi Maps will be integrated with WP7/bing
  • Nokia's hardware experience
  • Nokia's albeit somewhat battered reputation

What does Nokia gain?
  • A huge loss of reputation and credibility
  • A market losing OS
  • Stigmatisation for dancing with the devil, and eventually getting stabbed in the back or swallowed up
