This happens, the EU will probably block it. They've sued Microsoft enough times to want to prevent something like this.

I think Eldar was saying something like this a month or two ago already...

Not sure if him repeating it is him being him, or if it actually means there's more information available suggesting that this is going to be something Microsoft wants to do.

*Shrug* Either way, what gerbick says makes perfect sense too - the EU would already be watchful of Microsoft monopolies in their territory from prior experiences, AND there's bound to be people in the EU who felt a sense of pride about their European giant Nokia (while Europe isn't exactly unified culturally, the people who do feel more European than [any European nationality here] are more likely to end up working in the EU, and either way they'd certainly feel more positively towards a European business than the American Microsoft that they've had unpleasant relations with before).

Elop on the rumours http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-0...baseless-.html

the both time Eldar as made these claims were both on the same day nokia reported really bad news and saw a massive slump on the stock market.
It's obvious what he's trying to do

Not that i don't agree with you, but it's not like Elop would say... "yes that's actually true." *rip his clothes off and shows Ballmer's face tattooed to his chest.*



It's corporate talk that includes saying stuff like 1 month before N900 announcement Nokia executive saying that they have no plans at turning Maemo platform to phones, or Nokia denying CEO change till the day it's announced while in reality Ollila told that they had been looking for new CEO for 10 months already. Elop denying platform change, before it happened. The list goes on and on.
Same for any other company out there.

I never remember Elop denying OS change, I remember him saying the Future involved creating an ecosystem alone or/and Joining an existing one.
If there was any truth in the Sale rumours The Company would just decline to comment.
