Summary: Nokia the latest casualty of Microsoft entryism and the "Elop effect" makes it into Wikipedia

BACK in October there was an article titled "How Stephen Elop Destroyed Nokia" and Wikipedia now has an article about the "Elop effect", which is another term coined after a Microsoft mole destroyed a company (as Belluzzo did about a decade ago).

There seems to be no turning back for the Microsoft-occupied Nokia, which became somewhat of a patent troll. As for Nokia's products, they're a joke. As one new review put it, "Nokia’s new 2520 tablet is one to avoid" and "After testing the device, I wonder why Nokia bothered."

Making products enables Nokia (Microsoft) to look less like a troll and a bit like a real company. Either way, Elop killed this company and he became somewhat of a meme. ⬆
