I think we can call it a day. I really doubt Microsoft will be that
interested in OSM anymore when they got Nokia on their hook.
Why would you think that? Why would Microsoft be interested in OSM per
se? And why would hooking up with Nokia dimishish their possible
interest in OSM?
I could even make a case that they are even more interested in OSM.
Since Nokia wants to offer navigation and since map coverage in
little-travelled area's is low, it would make sense for any company
offering maps to use crowdsourcing as a means to increase their
coverage.
And a comment of "we can call it a day" is pointless on any level. Or
is your only goal the acceptance of OSM by Microsoft?
