Funny how any critic of MeeGo is now automatically assumed to be a supporter of WP7 (despite the fact that I made it clear in my opening post that I believe WP7 actually makes things worse).
And FWIW, I believe that WP7 was far too late too, and that that's one of the bigger reasons for its lack of success so far.

I really don't know, gerbick, and you may be right. But with scraping it like this we will NEVER know.
As I said, I am no expert at all, but my gut feeling tells me Nokia's problems aren't just going to go away with a new OS.

For me the biggest insanity in this isn't about WP7 being bad, or some ideological openness question. It's the seemingly disproportionate ratio between what Nokia is giving up (past, present and future) and what they are gaining.

n the end, I don't think Nokia had much Choice. It was either Android or WP.

You're probably right. But this also means that Elop is a weak leader.
Steve Jobs did not sell off Apple. He re-innovated.

Did I miss the sale of Nokia? Apple entered new markets. Nokia isn't in a position to do that, so Elop did the only thing he could do to fix problems NOW before the company entered a death spiral. What do you think Nokia should have done if MeeGo wasn't an option?.
And FWIW, I believe that WP7 was far too late too, and that that's one of the bigger reasons for its lack of success so far.
