#3 So you buy a going concern like Nokia, run it into the ground with incompetent management and then lay off a couple thousand of their workers. Great work, Microsoft. I owned one of the early Palm Treos with a Windows Mobile OS. What a piece of crap that was. Every now and then it would freeze and I'd have to reboot it, just like the desktop! On my next PC I'm going to install Linux.
