The question is what it is the alignment of the new CTO?
That may suggest if Elop is still sitting securely in his chair.

Nothing to see here, Henry Tirri was already the acting CTO since Green left.

Why was Rich Green suddenly out of the company when it states "Two independent sources said at the time that Green’s leave would last at least until the end of the year", very suspicious dont you think ?, and i very much doubt his successor will have any thoughts of meego because mr wonderfull will not allow.
Mr wonderful is behind this and it would take a blind man not to see what is going on, this IS the end of meego as far as Nokia is concerned in my opinion because this guy can only see one thing = WP.

Just the usual corporate bullsh1t. I see the new guy reports 'directly to El Presidente'. Presumably, the old guy reported to the tea lady once he'd fallen out of favour with the MS cabal.
