Yes, I think Nokia chose poorly. Starting with Elop, ending with Microsoft.

Okay, so you dump MeeGo and Qt, and then start talking about "ecosystem". But if you cared about ecosystem, wouldn't you try and steal or borrow iOS and Android developers? Again, UI aside, WP7 forces C# and DirectX, while the other mobile platforms support C++ and OpenGL. If I was a developer... Oh, wait.

Nokia: Put bullet in chamber. Aim at foot. Pull trigger.
