The market hey? What's WP's market share, post strategy and after strategy?

Symbian STILL has more market share than WP7!!!!

You're right, the market speaks

You must be easily deluded. Symbian collapse is what is causing NOKIA downsizing

And what caused the collapse in Symbian? ALL industry analysts predicted, before the Burning Platform memo that Symbian would still be the BIGGEST OS in the world for at least the next 2 years.

The funny thing is, after killing Symbian over a year ago - it still has more market share than WP7

Like i said Lumiaman, give me some facts and figures... you can't? Then keep on dreaming

Check today's Washington Post for an article on how Nokia drove its value low enough to make it a possible takeover target.

Why pay for the milk when you can possibly get it for free?

Firstly, nothing comes for free. And what happens if the milk expires And you have to go in and fix stuff like the milkmachine or the cow don't act like you want?

I fear that you don't quite get that colloquialism perhaps. It's often stated when men and women live together and the man benefits from the woman as if she's already his wife, he's yet to make her his wife yet.

She cooks, she cleans, she loves him. He benefits yet doesn't have to make that final commitment.

In this case... Nokia builds new applications, they manufacturer new hardware, they even advertise on behalf of WP7 in countries that don't care about WP7 in the least bit. Nokia licenses WP7 from Microsoft for each phone sold and all Microsoft had to do was give them some money and no real commitment beyond that.

Why pay for the milk when they get the cow for free - that's the whole statement more or less.

Nothing's for truly free, I agree. But just like the man, Microsoft is enjoying Nokia for next to nothing right now... no real commitment that doesn't benefit Microsoft.

Oh thx. I thought we were talking milk.

But you can't be sure what the deal is. We might not know the whole story. We don't have the signed contract and audio files from the negotiations behind closed doors?

Microsoft Corporation could have a deal to buy nokia for a fixed price with the board and all major share holders(not likely). There could also be that Nokia needs more money to survive and ms must buy nokia for almost the same amount.

EDIT: BALLMER just showed a Microsoft tablet called surface. Why do they need nokia?
