May I suggest Anssi Vanjoki as the new CEO after Elop. He was behind Meego 100%.

The 'Plan B' strategy reads like a wishlist, the whole thing seems to be an idea of eliminating all cost-cutting and increasing spending on new talent to bet the entire company on MeeGo. The reason Nokia is in its current situation is the board decided they don't want to bet the company on MeeGo. A plan that outlines an absolute boatload of spending with no financial plan isn't going to get anywhere.

I think it will be too late if they wait until May 3rd to do this as mentioned on the site.
Plan B?

By 'current situation' i mean the MS partnership. MeeGo was supposed to be the smartphone platform of choice for Nokia, but so was Symbian and Maemo...I just don't think they could afford to wait another year to see if it pays off this time.
Hopefully the WP7 deal will fill the coffers at Nokia so that MeeGo can be released when it's truly ready and not like Maemo.

So I guess for now this is not really news until they try to pitch this and are successful or get shut down by the majority. It's just a feel good story that some sane people at NOKIA will attempt to fix things.
