Another approach that could me likely too is that Nokia decides to go WP7 on E-series. My guess is that bussiness people prefer "windows apps".
But also this scares me a bit.. I have never seen Microsoft corperate any long with other companys they are. Most the times they just intrested to kill other bussines and ripoff stuff. IBM + Microsoft WarpOS ended with Win95 and so on...
Worst case in some years would be Microsoft buys Nokia == kills QT or closed source it == kills Linux...
Just my....

What a garbage article LMAO! And why WP7 and not Android? Article is pure troll, and Nokia has said they disagree. This is just made to generate pageviews to generate ad revenue. Nothing to see here, move along, and vote 1 star. Kthxbye.

Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. By no means I am happy about this, Im actually blown. I just hope we get at least one meego phone a year, Id be ok.

Well, I'm mot the told you so kind of guy. But I tell you, reading back the posts in multiple WP7 threads is the most entertaining thing I've done all week. And it's Saturday.

not going to happen, do you think some one who as been in the job 3 days can change a whole stratedgy without even taking his ideas to the board of directors? the answer is no
i think the tech site writers need to get educations before trying to be journalists
engadget are spot on with this rumour and i'm starting to like there impartiality recently with less biased stuff and less hate towards nokia

However there is nothing will prevent me, you and anyone else from getting previous version under previous license. Simple, huh?

I think for Meego and open source software the annoucement of Nokia partnering exclusively with Microsoft spells bad things. For Nokia and their earnings.... I think Elop is right. They will bring the sinking ship back, at the cost of loyal customers, which will be more than made up for by the troves of people who don't even know Nokia currently exists.
I look forward to seeing the phones they produce, and look forward to WP7 maturing as a platform. Why? Becuase iOS and Andriod need competition, and no other platform has the money or dedication to make it happen. Intel seems to be continuing Meego, but for how long?
Nokia wields enough power to really make it a 3 man race. No other company could do that. This was from a business perspective a very well formed plan. From the side of innovation and open source thinking, it was a stab in the back.
Yet I think given time, and the fruit of this announcement, we could all possibly change our tune.
One thing is for sure. If you really want to support open-source like mindedness, when Nokia and Intel release Meego products, BUY THEM! Otherwise it will fade just like Maemo 5. (Which in my opinion was one of Nokia's biggest mistakes, they had a good thing with Maemo 5)
