It's true that MeeGo isn't ready for prime time, but it will be at least as long to get WP7 ready for prime time _and_ adapted for Nokia phones (which, IIRC, still need to be built with the AFAIK required Intel CPU).

I think that it would have been less of a drop in stocks if they would have axed Symbian for rapid MeeGo evolution instead of selling their company out to a company that isn't known to do partnership that end up beneficial to both sides.
