Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but Windows Mobile never gained much marketshare overall, and what it had was mainly concentrated in North America. Why would Nokia bet it's future on a long-shot like Microsoft Mobile Division, without hedging that with Meego or Android? It's evident that Nokia has no immediate or long-term strategy, and clearly no confidence in what they're doing.

Nov 2007 stock price => $40
the day Elop arrived => $10
Nokia's previous strategy destroyed 75% of the corporate value in 3 years placing it back to 1998 levels.
Another 1-2 years of the old Symbian course would have dropped the price to low digits. The old people/strategy were destroying the company
Now Elop announces his new strategy, and the stock is down big time. Do you think that embracing Windows brings NOK up to $15 again?
Performance of a new CEO cannot be measured against failure of the previous guard.

Now Microsoft gets everything they want, no need to buy Nokia anymore.

Correct, and OPK was held accountable (certainly too late).

With the W7 and Meego strategy, I feel there is a 30% of going to $5 and a 60% chance of going to $15. A pleasant surprise might be a decent Meego phone. You'll be surprised how much productivity you can squeeze out of your employees when they know their job is on the line...
Just laying off all Symbian developers saves them 1Billion EUROS a year! shocking!

Re-quoted for truth too.
