No doubt...and I have NEVER said otherwise. As i said before going WP7 is not the problem, the problem is focusing solely on it, and that is what I don't like about Elop.
I'm also unsure as to why you say Meego etc are way ahead of WP7, because from what I've seen they're not. Each has stuff that the other lacks and vice versa. eg Can u edit documents on n9? no you can't at least not yet. Does WP7 have vpn? no it doesn't not yet.
I also agree that going WP7 is inexplicable, very unnecessary. We are on the same page minus the Microsoft hate.
Listen, the reception for initial release of wp7 was bad yes, but not set in stone. They've improved it drastically. They rushed it out to market and the lacklustre hardware attempts from the OEMs didn't help either, considering the alternatives, it was bound to be sucky. Are you all REALLY not seeing ANY merit in wp7 platform? really? How many of you have used a phone with WP7 mango?
i am surprised elop have lasted so long, previous CEO lost 50% stock in 4 years, while maintaing nokia sales grow, sadly not the marketshare.
elop burn 50% in 4 months, managing to decrease symbian sales.

Regardless... watch how you point fingers. Three more are always pointed back at yourself when you do that.
I point my finger anywhere I like. I have always done so, and regarding mr hate nokia himself dan, I have abselutely no regrets or second thoughts.Elop does a first class job. He may not do the job you want, but he most certainly does the job the board want, and that is all that counts. Personally I have purchased the best phone I have had, the E6. Symbian Anna, soon to be upgraded to Symbian Belle. I will get the N9 soon, the coolest phone so far in this century. All this has happened during Elop. In not so distant future, I will also get a Nokia WP.
Regarding dan. The boy doesn't own a Nokia that's not older than 4-5 years. He doesn't care for the N900, he doesn't care for the N9, he is demonstrating hatred towards everything Nokia in every post he is making. He is just a clown, or he has some serious personal problems. That's not kind words, I know, but it is the sad truth.

That is very straightfoward but flawed thinking. It just goes to show simply that unique UI is NOT ENOUGH for WP7 to succeed. Microsoft HAS to excel at EVERYTHING to make an impact....unlike Apple for eg. They deserve that too

Personally, I think you wholly miss the point. It doesn't matter if Eflop is doing a great job for the people who hired him; all that matters is, he is performing a rather massive disservice to all of us who wanted MeeGo and open phones. If his bosses are happy, I couldn't care less; I'm not.
It's getting to the point where it feels that if Nokia was to release a phone made out of crap, limited edition, you would quite glady go ahead and smear sh*t all over you face while taking a call, just because Elop and the board stand behind such a literally crappy device.
And don't get me wrong, but you're getting personal with Dan. Makes no sense to do so.

Now... getting back to the discussion of Nokia wanting a new CEO...
Although the topic was originally about OVP, now that we've been stuck with Elop, does anybody know if ANYBODY from the incredibly dimwitted board that managed to ruin the local Finnish economy, jobs and future know what any of them have said about Elop since replacing the old boss with the new boss?
Nokia's slogan shouldn't be the pedo-palmgrabbing image with the slogan, "Connecting People"... It should be one hand open pleadingly with another hand giving the middle finger and the more apt slogan, "Potential Unrealized." --DR
