Right, some people here are open SW enthusiasts, and also not friends of Microsoft. But I don't believe this hits the point. I also own a Window Mobile device that I also like. The MS deal itself, as said before by others also, is not a problem, the problem is its exclusiveness and as it seems lack of risk management.

What me really concerns is that my department made lot of business with Nokia (without being dependent from it ...), and I have some friends in it's middle management. It's sad to see such unfortunate decisions in management and PR as we do since last week. I've never seen a European company so quickly being brought down as Nokia these days.

AGAIN: Leading a company is NOT GAMBLING. Make the game in way that you ALWAYS win somehow, but never fail miserably.
Let's wait 2 years and hope that Nokia management has also done its job concerning risk management.
