and read he next few I posted in that thread if you want to know why I'm convinced it will happen.
Ah... so you started the rumor then?.
j/k

Maybe you should explain it to that other dudes buddy who works for someone, who knows something about hush, hush meetings or somesuch. Maybe Nokia and M/S were just discussing your post.

Clearly a slow news day. Children given the opportunity to write "tech journalism".

5/10 years ago you rarely got this speculative popular tech news. Only the dedicated fans of smartphones/tablets bothered reading/writing articles which dealt with future mergers, take overs, adaptions etc. And today everyone and their grandmother is writing to get view counts on their sites.

I call ban on reposting anything crap on this site.

Lol. That might be worth another in-depth review at some hardcore techies website. Thnx for the laugh dude. Made this thread useful in at least one way...

Even if that's true, WP7 seems promising and i'd definitely try it out once a decent device gets released. After all, the Xboxlive games on it look really fun.


And also, Nokia getting WP7 will NEVER happen. They might as well abandon Meego right now, or Symbian3.

The fact that you guys are putting a bit of thought behind this one... sorta scares me. Not because it might happen, but because some of you are making some real good arguments on both sides of the fence.

Nokia doesn't have loyalties. They're company and the openly admitted prime directive or any company is make money.

If they want W7, they get W7. I see no problem here. Not in implementation (hardware is pretty standard), not in conflict of interests (multiple OSs run now just fine, one more won't matter).

Don't know if it will happen or not, but I certainly see little problem. In fact, since Windows has little allegiance to one line of products (there's a truck full of stuff running Win), if anything it's more likely for Windows to become an option on many future products. IMO, that's what other OSs strive for, Meego and Android included.

Right now the strict associations hurt both manufacturers and developers. I can't think of an instance where having the option to switch from Linux to Windows would hurt sales.

There's a reason PC/laptops do so well. 90% of everything works with 99% of everything.

Frankly, I'm not entirely sure why N900 doesn't run a CE as an option already.

I can't believe this much comments can exist over speculations.

Exactly.

Of course there are no technical difficulties, but just the question of why?

not in conflict of interests (multiple OSs run now just fine, one more won't matter).
Note that the OSs that Nokia uses right now are "controlled" by them. They are not subject to the whims of any other company.

Don't know if it will happen or not, but I certainly see little problem. In fact, since Windows has little allegiance to one line of products (there's a truck full of stuff running Win)
Er, just because MS wants to pollute everything with Windows, doesn't mean Nokia wants the same.

I can't think of an instance where having the option to switch from Linux to Windows would hurt sales.
People who use Linux tends to know what they want, and most times it is not Windows.

Frankly, I'm not entirely sure why N900 doesn't run a CE as an option already.
Because it would probably require 2 times the hardware specs to achieve a similar performance as maemo (and probably 3 times the hardware specs to achieve a similar performance to Symbian). Never mind the crashes, lockups, resets.

People actually take the annual Nokia will start using WIndows Mobile rumours seriously? Same pointless rumour every year. Nokia isn't even using Android, for reason widely discussed on TMO. From Nokia's point of view, Adopting WM7 would have all the same negative aspects as Android.

And as a bonus, unlike Android, Nokia would actually have to pay MS for it.
