you know what DOS stood for at the company m$ bought it from, 30+ years ago, right?

Elop was a director of consulting for Lotus Development Corporation before becoming CIO for Boston Chicken in 1992, which filled for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1998. In the same year, he joined Macromedia's Web/IT department and worked at the company for seven years, where he held several senior positions, including CEO from January 2005 for three months before their acquisition by Adobe Systems was announced in April 2005.

He was then president of worldwide field operations at Adobe, tendering his resignation in June 2006 and leaving in December, after which he was the COO of Juniper Networks for exactly one year from January 2007-2008.
one can't help wondering why he had to leave m$, but maybe his being CEO of NOKIA is the best insurance against being acquired by m$... no matter what, they don't want him again >¦-))))))))))))))))

What was the current Lumias all about? Nothing more than big scale effort to get the app count up for WP8. 100 000 apps wow. For this Nokia has been ruined.

I guess one can argue that this also makes WP7 worth while, the apps are there, and if Nikia had continued its old path it would be a total gonner. Maybe. But thry have been dishonest with the entire mass of end users. And I mran everyone, from old die hard Symbian fans, maemo fans and new Lumia users. It's not like they didn't have the opportunity to confirm earlier that Lumias could not be upgraded. They dicided to keep everyone in the dsrk, to keep everyone hoping, believing. Everyone has been abused, pawns in Elops plan. Now it also makes sense, from an Elopian point of view, why the N9 officially disappeared from the line up.

I hope as many as possible purchase the 808, the N9 and any other old style Nokia. I am simply too fed up with Nokia right now to even consider the 808 myself.

The cold hard truth is that is Nokia had gone woth Android instead of WP, then Maemo/meego would still be alive and in excellent shape.

WP8 may live on for all I care. My future will be Android from now on, or any other cool os that may pop up.

agree with your post (except maybe for the ANDRoid only part, but that's a matter of personal preferences) as far as we, Maemo users are concerned.
even though you should keep in mind that Maemo always was & still is a "R&D project", not a commercial product...
i was referring to the millions of Symbian users that mostly saw NOKIA as a synonym of "mobile phone"...

EDIT (to Texrat): that is what Flop destroyed, ruthlessly & purposefully.
sick bastard
and with that he caused more damage to NOKIA then iOS and ANDroid together ever could have...

Even though I understand what you're saying; it's seriously a waste of both of our time since regular English would be advantageous to both of us. Sorta like using abbreviations and it takes longer to explain the abbreviation than it takes to use it and assume that all are as clued in as you.

Flop, one letter off yet rather clever. M$ - well, we're not talking about a company that's worth less than Apple, Exxon; a whole different era now.

DOS = disk operating system. I knew that. I'm old enough to remember it, not so fondly.

The rest... I'm an old MCSE that didn't get re-certified because I just really didn't like that world. But I know that world. Just not the slang you're using. Never became my part of my vernacular.

Microsoft. Say it with me. Micro. Soft. I knew you could </Mister Rogers>

the only reason why m$ actually exists is because 30 yrs ago, Big Blue was too lazy to develop an OS for XT/AT/PC which they thought would only be a couple years worth fluke, after which everyone would come running back to the mainframe & co, horrified by the "cost" of "personal support"...
well, sometimes even "Big companies" miss it, don't they?
