Hardly surprising...all of Microsoft's 'business partners' in the past have been screwed over.
However, in this case Microsoft is committing suicide. It sincerely thinks its brand is as appealing as Apple's, and is enough to attract customers.
The truth is that Nokia itself carried Windows phones to a 3% global market share. Without Nokia, Blackberry will steal all of Windows phones' customers.![]()
On the recent announcement by Microsoft on the massive headcounts cut. Understand most of it is going to be coming from the Nokia side, including Finland side too.
No more sacred cow for Nokia, this cut will be huge and deep.
Just ironic, as they were the industry leaders a good 10 years back.
