Stephen Elop said explicitly that these activities are out of the scope of the Microsoft deal and I'm still waiting to hear more about them.
Actually, the first three of these initiatives were already underway before yesterday.

And for those not familiar with Nokia structure and culture, putting MeeGo under CTO makes it less of a commercial venture and more of a research project.
