I´m starting to think that might Elop and Board of dir. underestimate how highly appreciated open systems currently are in Europe and what kind of momentum is behind them. Some nations have changed their office system to open office and schools have started to use linux based OSs. Companies are making analyzes on how they could cut their license fees to proprietary software companies. I agree that it´s hard to measure these things and I might be completely wrong about this.

Just some links:

Also one big player is that:
"In January 2011, Russia President Vladimir Putin signed a government order that forces Russian Authorities to use free and/or open source software. This will mean Microsoft Office will no longer be used as a key office suite and it is speculated that OpenOffice.org may be its replacement by 2015."
