By what exactly?
I remember reading about it last year. Investors were rightly so pushing MS to do something with that cash.
I don't believe the cash reserves were directly linked to Nokia buy. The pile has been being build for years for tax reasons.

After all of the uproar over what Apple was doing in regards to their cash stash they keep overseas; hell yes. Because not one soul said anything about this pertaining Microsoft but kept pointing out Apple only. I'm willing to believe this is more of the norm than not.
Oh well... Nokia got "bought". They still have 60+ Billion - let's see who's next.

ROTFL your so damn naive, Microsoft will not die. Most people will continue use Windows even if they only use it for simple task like web surfing.
In other programming forums I participate in there's currently lots of discussions about what's the best Linux distro to migrate to once Microsoft pulls support for XP. Windows is becoming less and less relevant.

And btw. most people does not care about NSA. They will forget it as soon as media finds something else talk about.

Happy reading. N.B. there's Surface 2 & Surface 2 Pro, WinRT & Win8...
And no, there will be no Nokia name/branding used for what's a 100% MS product.
Nokia however is rumoured to be releasing their 1st & last WinRT tablet on the 22nd.
It's codenamed Sirius & rumoured to be called "Nokia 2520", IIRC Lumia isn't in the name.

It's unfortunate they opted for a WinRT tablet, it would've been more interesting to me if they went with Win8.
I doubt I'll end-up wanting it more than the Surface 2 Pro or even the Surface 2, but, we have to wait & see.

Well, they could at least do as well as the Surface... ;-)
They look good to me, I think I'll get lots of productivity out of mine, looking forward to comparing to other tablets.

Surface did ok after all. It's now an established brand. Sure, it has and will continue to cost but they are gaining market shares slowly.
If Apple could get an tablet or hybrid of air with osx that could kill surface.
