As an example of how MS wiped out competition unfairly it used to insist (back in the days when there was still competition) that any manufacturer who wants to package its OS (Windows or MSDOS) drop other competing OS.
I doubt Microsoft's culture of suppressing competition has changed whether Bill or Balmer is in charge. Look at poor Nokia. It has to drop all other platforms and focus on WP7 although it makes sense for Nokia to be multiplatform.
I shudder to think what will happen if MS gets to dominate smartphones OS. We'll probably be forced to pay for upgrades to a bloated, buggy, virus and malware infested OS every quarter.
Weird that this article would be posted this morning while we are talking about this. My point is that every company, even Nokia and Nokia of old or new, is only after a profit. Everything else is secondary but that also doen't mean things are black and white. I teld to view them as grey.

This is the case in a lot of companies, not just tech-related (but new tech often does change the way we live our lives).
And imho the most important parts of a company are the combined goals and capabilities of the people working for it, not the money, brand-image, patents or even the products. The products define the company's past, the people its future.

Said it before and will say it again - Lumia is only good for spare parts.
Not that the N9 is a gem itself.

It depends what do you want with your device. if you need MfE, access to office docs, notes app and such, lumia will make your day out of the box. But any other approach to task switching outside Harmattan is utter crap at the moment... buttons... in touch screen device... come on!
And don't start telling me "ther is an app for that". Good luck finding the right apps from the huge pile of sh*t offered from marketplaces without long trial and error experiments... (I can has a rss reader - ovi store...)
e: this opinion is with lumia800 (latest battery firmware updates) and n950 beta pr 1.2

Showed my n9 to my father recently, I told him he should consider to buy the wp7 version since meego is a dead end. He lost interest though when I told him it does not have swipe. Somehow he was totally into swipe after a few minutes.
