It's nice that you're optimistic (joyful?) I guess that's still possible if you choose to ignore what's happening to Nokia. I'm not joyful. I won't even get to enjoy some schadenfreude when Elop eventually "moves on to a new challenge" or whatever, because history suggests that he'll be given a fat stack of cash when he leaves.


While it's true that everything good eventually ends - and that Nokia was already in trouble well before Elop arrived - not every good ship has to be set on fire, plundered by pirates masquerading as the crew and then scuttled...
N9 is a beta OS. It has no chance of succeeding and markets show it. It was advertised heavily in China and few other markets, yet it failed to inspire. It can not compete for the common man/woman paycheck. Dont blame Elop for what has been happening for years at NOKIA. Elop perhaps came too late, but that is NOKIA's decision alone. They hired him because they clearly wanted a change in direction. He gave it to them. Whether you like it or not is a different thing. He made a bold move and may lose a job over it.
