Yeah. Finland reorganized its whole higher education system to feed more engineers into it.

In 2014, Microsoft purchased Nokia's mobile phone business for about $7 billion. Mr. Elop came to MS as part of the deal, which was completed on 25 April 2014.

This means that Mr. Elop's tenure as a Microsoftie lasted exactly 418 days.

Entirely for the reason Blackberry did: Apple came out with the smartphone, and only Google was rich enough and brazen enough to steal it. Everyone else just declined or died.
