Rubbish. He may not have been a Trojan Horse to MS, but that doesn't mean he never had any intentions of selling the company, or shelling the company at least.

Why would a non-Trojan Horse put all its eggs into the one basket of a small OS that has made no impact, from a company that has always failed in this market? To ditch all existing efforts - including the OS that keeps it being the biggest handset manufacturer in the world? And Elop made the lame excuse of time constraints - yet Nokia's WP7 phones won't be out until the same time or later than it's MeeGo device (WP7 from Nokia - between oct2011-2012), WTF?
