Think about it... Microsoft will pump more MS Office license and XBOX derived revenue into Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8, get at least a level of interoperability that is only afforded to those that are that (declining) world/ecosystem and declare it the next best thing since sliced bread and/or iOS or Android and use Nokia as their OEM.

As it stands, that's a very short term strategy, perhaps 18-22 months at most.

But what if that fails? Nokia kicks out Elop, Microsoft could very well oust Ballmer.

I'm waiting to see what really happens. Tizen will have to show me more than just HTML5 scores to keep my interest.
