I truly doubt it was 10 folks only working on MeeGo; however if that's the case, that was Nokia's pre-Elop decision.

If Elop didn't see the value in MeeGo, then that was the board's inability to convey that. They were supposed to show all aspects of their operations, including future iterations of OS's and how that would be advantageous to their next set of projects going forward.

That... somehow didn't happen.

So what happened? He talked about what he knew... a MS OS. And the board didn't fight against it well enough to stop it. We can all wonder why, but it's just what happened. Speculate on your own - there's tons of theories.

The MSFT flunky that invaded Nokia was invited by Nokia's board of directors.
