No need to do that. Giving WP7 any press would be seen as a good thing.

Misleading the board of directors, shareholders and fans would be a disaster.

Shaking hands with Ballmer is like putting your hand in a sewer. Sure, you can say that you put your hand in a river of **** once, but what is that really worth to you?

Open source shouldn't need money, it should be built on a valid meritocracy. Problem is... that means either the model is flawed or so far, only Red Hat, Novell and a handful of others are doing it right and supporting themselves.

Nokia hasn't fully been open source. All of their endeavors have had closed, proprietary drivers (can't fully blame Nokia here, other vendors have created these problems) and that's a problem when they WONTFIX stuff going forward and rapidly abandon pricey hardware like the N9.

My point - people are talking in terms that show very little business acumen; more fan based rhetoric will not save Nokia. They made the devices that fans loved - and still need saving. We're (the fans) are a very minor part of what makes their bottom numbers look great and keep people happy.
