Still does. What was sold to MSFT was mostly manufacturing engineering and mass-production capability.

True, and I do feel that Nokia should make a clear distiction between its operations and those of a legal extortion machinery.
Even as we no longer have any customer-oriented business it is still important to have a clean brand image. As for b2b relationships, very much different things matter; the brand image is of course most important but the pont-of-view that general public views a brand is very different from the way a partner views it.
