I am not against Nokia going with Windows Phone. But I didn't like was them making it their one and only option. Elop should have never called Symbian a burning platform and kill MeeGo. That was stupid.
Symbian was not dead, it died the instant he released that memo, and he never wanted MeeGo to succeed because he released it in limited quantities in small almost insignificant markets. Windows Phone, MeeGo, Symbian and Android devices in stores worldwide would have been nothing but good for them, cause consumers love choice, and they would have had four from a great brand.

Now shareholders think WP strategy is a fraud?

I sold you the idea (i'm good seller) and you buy it (you dont make the best choice), now that you see it wasn't the best choice, you are going against me?
Who is the boss here? Elop? Shareholders who put Elop as CEO?
Bad choice, take it like a man a deserve the money you lose, not cry like a baby.
If you don't want more Elop as CEO, next meeting talk about it.

Despite this being one of the worst case scenarios, I'm wondering how the board of directors will respond. Shareholders are losing way too much money, the revenue continues to go downhill... I can see this getting ugly, expensive, but almost necessary quickly.

Sooooo funny. Stephen Elop is getting lonelier in his "WP is going to be a success" bubble. Actually it's not that funny it's just sad I don't even want to joke about how much nokia has failed.

This has nothing to do with Elop. It has to do with the fact that NOKIA is competing against much better OSs. NOKIA is still relying on WW2 tanks while the competition is lasering them off the map. WP is the best choice they had, perhaps too late, but the best choice.
