Quoting Koushik Dutta on Google+:
Step 1) Send Microsoft sleeper agent, Stephen Elop, into Nokia
Step 2) Drive Nokia into the ground by going all in on Windows Phone
Step 3) Buy Nokia at discount

I think a LOT of people saw this coming the moment Nokia hired on a Microsoft moleman.

Finally the dead rat is pulled from behind the curtain.

On the plus side I doubt we will need to listen to Lumiaman's drivel any longer about how share price will reach $10 and all the rest of his bull while he drools over his precious.

What a waste, my thoughts to all the employees and families that have and will suffer at the hands of Elop.

ps. I guess this thread is now superfluous.

I know a Russian mobile blogger and a Finnish telecom analyst that called this.

I know a bunch of tmo trolls that is standing quite naked and small now.

Well, the stock symbol itself hasn't been closed out quite yet since things aren't settled and done yet. I guess once that happens, we'll need a new Microsoft stock thread? That should probably be the next one up on the dead pool for bets on when it'll go out of business or get bought out.

If Microsoft has majority ownership of Nokia and takes away their CEO... but Nokia keeps the patents and mapping and so on... how does this NOT make it Microsoft's?

MS just bought the loss-making devices.
What's left, is the healthy NSN.

Ehhh.. last time I looked, wasn't it the Asha stuff that was actually healthy? Even their patents and mapping weren't exactly money-making hits, or am I wrong? Is there any info on that?

NOK is up 42% in pre-market and MSFT is down 3%. "Well done, Stevie. Thanks Steve. Can I come home now?"
