I literally just saw this. If Elop gets put in as CEO, which I see happening especially after the buyout, I predict a get next few years for MS.

Yes hopefully this signals a much better strategy for innovation with the software. But what does thus mean for Samsung and HTC?

 

[Dave Blake]

I for one am excited to get this news.

Holly molly, gosh darn it, golly gee whiz!

Tomorrow will be interesting for Nokia stock.

This is pretty cool. I see big things.

In shock! Expected it to happen some day, not before 2015 though! I wonder how Samsung and co will respond now that Microsoft own the biggest WP OEM? Google buying Motorola wasn't the same as they're nothing more than an alsoran in the smartphone/Android race.

Now maybe Microsoft can call AT&T on Nokia's behalf and get that GDR2+Amber update out for the 920 already!
