MS to buy Nokia?

Won't happen. I don't know why people still consider Eldar to be a respectable source of rumors anymore - his claims are generally off the wall and not accurate.
 
Yeah, that's not going to happen. If MS was interested in releasing cell phone hardware, they'd have done it long before they started putting their OS on other manufacturer's phones.

The rumor was to buy Nokia's mobile group, not the entire company.

They actually do something other than cell phones? Wow.


They better not. My MSFT holdings are in the shitter since earnings and have been even shittier since they bought Skype. They blow anything else, I'll be on the street performing sexual favours for bread and water.
 
It is OK for MS to buy Nokia because Nokia customers are going to give up Nokia with WP7 anyway...They are going to out of business instantly like they did with Danger Inc with Sidekick phone!

Microsoft's big mistake with Danger was that they insisted on writing the software again from scratch. They didn't want an OS built on Java. That delayed the launch significantly, and pissed off Verizon, who decided to require a smartphone data plan even though it wasn't a proper smartphone. The rest is history.

There are no parallels here whatsoever. Educate yourself before you come here and make immature, worthless posts.

Since everyone is ignoring this, i'll answer this:

MS didn't BUY nokia, but rather they formed a strategic partnership, having nokia to release their phones with WP7!

It's called sarcasm, maybe that's why no one responded to it.
