If the MS hate does not exist any more, explain why Nokia phone sales collapsed after they announced their MS alliance.

  Is that really MS hate or just a lack of confidence in a Nokia/MS alliance being a good thing?

    Nokia was Symbian, it was the enterprise Symbian devices in Europe contributing to their marketshare. The future of lowend could have been Meltemi, but the hardware would have been made in China and sold by Nokia, Meego is gone (last people pushed into their own company, per the planets today), Nokia (with their Microsoft transplant CEO) announced an EOL for Symbian and marketshare dried up.

    I cant speak for too many, but among my community of Linux users, Nokia has turned from Linux champion to piece of turd overnight. It wasnt too long ago when I was a hardcore Nokia fanboy that forced my whole family to use Nokia-only, eagerly waiting for the next Meego phone, despite the lack of apps and user community.
