Maybe you fail to realize what's been going on, maybe you choose to fail to realize it because perhaps you are a fan of Windows and Microsoft in general.

MeeGo did have an excellent chance to blossom in the mobile market, had it been given a chance. Google with Android and Apple with iOS weren't really given a high chance of survival out in the smartphone world, but somehow they made it and they made it big. Windows Phone...wtf is that? I barely see it being used anywhere. On TV all I see is Android (Java + Linux kernel) and the iPhone. I think I've only ever seen ONE Windows Phone and still I barely see it.

Yes, I will agree Nokia has a bad rap for not advertising their good phones and stuff, but they are so used to not doing so due to Symbian being a phone for the low/mid-end and just showing up and being the first choice to low-income or budget conscience people. Oh and you dare not tell me that those people don't matter since the majority of people out in the world are always looking for the most inexpensive thing out there that works, which Symbian phones did and still do.

What Elop is doing is destroying Nokia from the inside. It's like a hostile take over from the 1980's in America, but a lot more cunning and stealthy. They persuaded, I'm sure I know how, the BOB for Nokia into thinking WP7 was their best bet and they threw out the old CEO and replaced him with an M$ employee that would do just as M$ wanted; take over Nokia, destroy the MeeGo line (even after proclaiming it was going to be his and the companies main focus) before it actually takes root and gut Nokia of it's IP's. When Nokia is nothing but a shell or worse, they abandon it and go after someone else. Check the history of Microsoft's partnerships. See how far most of them got before they were turned into crap.

Look, I'm not saying the former CEO was any better, but this guy is leading Nokia to corporate suicide. You don't have to believe me, but you'll see it soon enough. Just wait and see and you'll understand exactly what your little "Windows" company will turn Nokia into. Plus, show me some up-to-date information of their "rise in stock" or I'm calling BS just to further your own trollish agenda.
