Haven't some manufacturers of PCs already tried that? Dell for one prime example used to have custom bios's for things like video cards, sound cards etc. If you wanted an upgrade you couldn't go out and buy a generic nVidia card because it wouldn't work. Instead you had to send the PC back to Dell so they could charge £/$300 for a £/$100 upgrade. The drivers were different too, so you had to go to Dell to get them (still happens a lot today). They realised how much that was hurting them once they acqired Alien Ware. Things are a little more relaxed now, I believe.
I think that's where the mobile market is heading. The tweaker geek has always been a breed apart and not as well catered for by manufacturers, they're more interested in the "I just wanna take it out of the box, switch it on and use it" brigade who are not interested in what goes on behind the screen.

Never stops them from trying again and again, especially when Microsoft is complicit this time around much like they were with ACPI. Remember when it used to be, sometimes still is, almost impossible to get Linux to work well with hardware just because ACPI was interfering with the kernel working with the hardware? Get ready for Microsoft's new Windows 8 support for EFI and allll the new hardware that suddenly won't work with anything but Windows 8. :P

I think you meant it's the funniest TYPO mistakes... near as I can tell, 'parents' is spelled correctly as a valid word, just not the word I meant to use (hence a spell-checker was useless to correct it in context). I've since corrected the mistake for anybody who intends to read the posting and understand the material, though. The most hilarious? You need to read around more.

One great new idea an your company can rise as Google and force the current giants to adapt or shrink... Why not a teleporter?
For every success story of a company which has pulled back from the brink there are others who have died. Have you heard of Kodak?

Apple was pushed to the brink when the Board appointed Gil Amelio to take over from John Sculley. He was an unmitigated disaster. If the Board hadn't corrected their blunder by sacking Amelio and bringing back Steve Jobs there would be no Apple now.

Nokia is now on a death spiral with Elop. His WP only strategy is a sure path to the grave. The latest comScore report show that Lumia 900 has failed to gain traction in U.S. Microsoft's U.S. share actually shrank another 0.4%. up to April '12. Lumia has also failed to gain traction in India and China (no it did NOT overtake iphone, its sales share is a rounding figure of iphone's) and Western Europe is lukewarm at best.

It may be possible for Nokia to turnaround but not with Elop. Even with Elop out survival is not guaranteed as this man has extensively damaged Nokia's intellectual infrastructure. Unfortunately there is no "Steve Jobs" to save Nokia.

If you are a risk taker you can buy Nokia stocks now and hope for a rally if, and only if Elop is sacked. This is not guaranteed to happen and the Board is likely to keep on buying Elop's line that Nokia is "in transition".

Some people are so blinded by their hate for Microsoft and Elop that they don't see Nokia succeeding with Lumia. Lumia's haven't even been out for a year. The first Androids and iPhones weren't successes. It wasn't until they both received successors that they started to built their market share and placed their stake in the smartphone market.
