#Nokia banking on !Windows ties to finally kill the company http://identi.ca/url/67099699

How dumb is this Elop, who is driving the once-great phone manufacturer right over the edge of the cliff?
-
@stav He's not dumb. He works for MS and they needed more market presence. Nokia is the one that's going to suffer.
-
@thistleweb The EU should stop MS from buying Nokia just for this reason.
-
@thistleweb yes, it has been done, but only rarely and insufficiently.
-
@thistleweb that is true, but if they would have further developed Maemo and used it, they would have had a chance.
-
Elop worked for Microsoft from January '08 to September '10. Nokia paid Elop $6Mill signing bonus, for “lost income from his prior employer"
-
@stav It does seem like he’s trying to help Microsoft, not Nokia.
-
That's why I used the pejorative adjective in my earlier dent. #DUMB
-
major volte-face from Nokia, from 2 FOSS phone OSs to Windows in 18 months, market leaders to near death, coincidence?
-
@jimh I'm gonna say yes. I don't believe the switch to windows was the cause of their demise but the symptom.
