I can see MS buying Nokia, but not a few days after a combined profit warning + announcement of a massive round of layoffs. The timing would be totally tone-deaf with regard to the layoffs, and from a legal point of view it seems pretty dangerous to have the profit warning so closely to an acquisition announcement. Possibly not illegal, but certainly begging for a lawsuit from anyone who sold shares in those few days.
And of course MS buying Nokia will pretty much ensure that no other manufacturer is going to touch WP8 with a 12 foot pole. Seems like a bad way to kick off that campaign...
