Preferring M$ WP7 over Android/Linux in Finland??? (Score 1)

Nokia is one of the largest companies in Finland, and they had the chance too choose linux based android. They did choose Microsoft technology instead, and annonced big layoffs. Windows Phone has absolutely no relationship to finland, whereas linux has. Linux can be seen as some kind of invention from finland (because linus torvalds was born in finland). The decision for Windows Phone can be questioned for other reasons: The CEO is a former microsoft employee, and thereby naturally tends to favor microsoft. Nokias choice will piss off the employees of Nokia, the government, the people in finland. Powerful groups. Having a state against you that depends much on your success is not a good thing. They will set the CEO under pressure and question his objectivity. IMO: As soon as the contracts with microsoft allow it they will abandon Windows together with the CEO, and switch to android, because it is open (thus, they can always have it if they want), based on linux. Their position will no longer be that of a marked leader at this time, but their brand will still be known all over the world. Combining their brand with the power of android might give them a second chance.
