Jake,
Elop for starters is an Ex-Microsoft Exec and based on this had/has a bias
towards Microphone mobile operating system. The CEO dragged Nokia onto MS's
struggling platform in 2011 on the ground that " that it would be too
difficult for it to stand out from the crowd using Google’s OS." and has
since paid a hefty price for that decision.

If Elop is still "waiting to see if the Windows 8 ecosystem is anything
like the Apple Ecosystem.", am afraid, time is running out!
