WOW! How is this for a money making scheme... Microsoft is PAYING Nokia Billions to use Windows Phone 7PING! How, exactly, does that put money in the bottom line of Microsoft's mobile division? And HOW is that going to go over with Microsoft's other Windows Phone 7 clients who are PAYING Microsoft to use the OS????

Were I still at Nokia, I would have went home early too.

I remember reading a forbes article or somewhat a few months back that told of ten top companies that may not make it past 2011.
Nokia was one of them.
