M$ wants money.
Nokia just pissed off the majority of their fanbase.
Nokia and M$ wants to sell phones.

I'm thinking a lot!

Nokia needs to regain the enthusiasm of their base. Why not make them pay for what they want while including what M$ wants.. Elop has already proven the Trojan Horse strategy works.

Nokia's current strategy has them going out of business in less than a decade. If they have a better plan, I'm interested in hearing it.
