i think the fact that elop said 2011 and 2012 are going to be transition years for nokia has more to do with the stock price dropping than M$'s involvement.

face it, meego is not ready for primetime. nokia needs to protect its short term profits while developing meego. as much as i would love to hear them say "meego is the present and the future; we will put all of our resources behind meego" i am also not a nokia shareholder. they need tangible products in the market that can generate significant sales NOW regardless of what the future holds.
