I don't understand how it got past Nokia's board. Producing a WP7 phone isn't
necessarily a bad idea - IMO at least it's a pretty good phone OS and the more
competitive options in this area the better, although I know I'll get argument
on that here.
But why throw away everything else? What possible reason (for Nokia at least)
was there to *not* also pursue Meego or Android? History has some rather
important lessons about what happens when you let MS have too much control and
they needed a hit phone far more than they needed immediate cost reductions.
The burning platform thing was just unbelievable too. How to kill a company by
Elop:
Step 1: very publicly announce your entire product line is dead a year out from
having any replacements.
Step 2: do it again (or have it done by MS) a few months after releasing said
new product.
