"I'm not going to make any specific comments. But it is the case and was absolutely a topic of discussion, that Microsoft plus Nokia has a remarkably strong IP portfolio, and we will use that appropriately with the context of our ecosystem.
"Ensuring that the value we create with our patents, we can defend from those who may take advantage."

My response, for what it is worth, is that while this is definitely not a result i ever wanted to see, it is worth remembering that Nokia will still be investing >around< half a billion annually in the broader MeeGo ecosystem after this change in direction.
While MeeGo is not now going to become one of the 'big-three' or the lead Nokia platform, it probably does have a healthy a viable future as a niche platform.

Examples: full multitasking, file system access, full controll of what can be shared (and how) via bluetooth/USB, copy/paste, freedom to install anything from any install-file you find on the web, video calls, MMS, ...
What does W7 offer me as a (admittedly very demanding) consumer that S40 cannot provide? How can it compete with the platforms Nokia is about to abandon?

Community Granted there isn't anything in the windows world, that I'm aware of, like the "communities" that gather around open source projects.
That said, consider that there are TONS of blogs and podcasts by Microsoft employees about all of their projects.
Applications/Development:
I'm not going to espouse an app market as the best feature about a phone. Android and iOS have larger markets.
WP7 isn't a smartphone, its the future of phones.
I'm going to get some pizza.
