| schestowitz | Totally agree with this take by Matt Drance. No one seems to be talking about this (though I alluded to it in a title last night), but it sure looks like what Microsoft just did was install a puppet government within Nokia. | Feb 12 05:17 |
| schestowitz | Step 1: Install Elop. | Feb 12 05:17 |

| schestowitz | Step 2: Get him to make a crazy bold bet to move Nokia phones over to the struggling Windows Phone platform even though embracing Android would seem to be an easier and safer bet. | Feb 12 05:17 |

| schestowitz | Step 3: Install another Microsoft vet, Chris Weber, as head of U.S. operations. | Feb 12 05:17 |
| schestowitz | Step 4: Install other former ‘Softies in positions of power. (It will happen.) | Feb 12 05:17 |
| schestowitz | When you consider the Microsoft had been attempting to buy Nokia — a move which would have cost billions upon billions — this is so brilliant. They really did just “buy” the company for free. | Feb 12 05:17 |
| schestowitz | As Drance notes, it may not ultimately work, but it’s a brilliant maneuver regardless. | Feb 12 05:17 |
