Currently MS has some kind of foothold only on devices that need to provide some MS-compatible service, like some NAS boxes. (and even more of them work with other OSes than windows)

If people are so stupid thinking that Elop was the only idiot at Nokia board, well then they are naive. We can only hope the new board is not to much "american sw is your best friend" but I have my doubts...
QT based OS only makes sense if you have a graphical UI... currently there are quite a lot of Nokia products that do not fall into this category
