I received the TOS update via e-mail. I was amused:


Nokia currently expects to complete the sale of its Devices & Services business to Microsoft in April 2014. With the completion of this transaction, a Microsoft Finnish affiliate* assumes responsibility for your personal data and the contractual relationships for the products and services related to this business. Microsoft cares deeply about your privacy and the protection of your personal data and will continue to collect and use your personal data in the same ways and for the same reasons as Nokia, and you should experience no difference as a result of the sale.
The take-away I received was "don't expect any support from us, but we'll feel free to continue mining your data". Oh well, c'est la vie welcome to the new millennium...

There's no incentive for MS to try to acquire the core Nokia businesses, it was the handset line it was after. Rest of the Nokia products use operating systems and software that has nothing to do with MS.

it was just an example. I've said that as soon as I knew that Elop was going to take charge.
I got trolled, flamed and mods even deleted some of my posts. No one believed me.

**** off to all of them. die nokia. die microshit. die elop.

I'm not sure that nobody believed you. I think that the idea of Elop being a trojan horse was pretty much common consensus around here when he was hired. I don't buy that idea myself. I think Nokia employed Elop precisely because of his connections with Microshaft, to make the sale go smoothly. The board knew exactly what they were getting.

Second that ... it was blatantly purposeful.
It has alllll the signatures of a deliberately crafted master plan..
A plan to get in bed with a monster corp. and make alot of money for a few in the process....Unfortunately devoted brand consumers...ie... sayyyy..."US" ...for example....are (for the most part...tho I'm sure a few would give them another chance) unlikely to be loyal consumers again in the future considering their behaviour in opting for this.... this...merger...(for lack of a better word)....and their abandonment of their customers.
I'm sure that once the party is over and Nokia comes to from the blackout during that wild time at the party....nursing the hangover in 2016 and turns over and sees the corp(ulent) () M$ stretched out in her bed... then the screaming will begin .... XD

What's that saying again ?..
"..careful what you wish for.....
...you just might get it..."

Now just tell me why it's always the same thing with the media, whether it be paper-press or e-something, they just cannot get the details right
