There's no conspiracy here. Elop has been liquidating as quickly as possible. See: http://yle.fi/uutiset/news/2011/02/nokia_elop_buying_shares_asap_2360756.html?origin=rss http://yle.fi/uutiset/news/2011/02/nokia_elop_buying_shares_... Which includes: Tallqvist told YLE that Elop will divest all of his Microsoft shares as soon as security exchange regulations and Nokia's own internal directives allow. Elop intends to purchase Nokia shares as soon as it is legally possible. As an executive at MS who announced his role at Nokia while at MS, it was all but impossible to liquidate quickly, given all the disclosure that needs to happen to avoid insider trading issues. There's no conspiracy or conflict of interest since all of his MS shares will be gone before any actual work product from the alliance has occurred.
