This article ignores Nokia's large cash reserves (€9.8 billion). If windows 7 works then they likely have the cash to do it themselves. If it doesn't work then it's hard to know what the smart phone plan B is. > Microsoft is already paying Nokia $1 billion a year to use its software on Lumia smartphones. Is that number even remotely accurate? I couldn't find any sources that didn't discredit it. Wouldn't it be a matter of public record if true though? Also disclaimer - I work for Nokia but have absolutely no knowledge about this topic beyond an obvious interest and a few google searches.
