Nonsense. Nokia can go Android at any point, and they have S40 that is being developed to much more than just a dumphone OS. S40 has 75 % of Nokias sales. If the deal goes wrong, it certainly is a huge blow, but it is not the death. WP is the right move for mainstream smartphone OS.

For MS this is equally huge. The future is mobile, and this is their chance. It is now or never for them.
