> He's actually brought Nokia back from the brink and kept a sinking ship somewhat afloat, in my opinion. At the same time, I don't think he is enough of a visionary to lead Microsoft. I share the same opinion. I think Elop cops a lot of flak from mobile enthusiasts, but the Nokia he took over had a lot of downward inertia that he needed to overcome and their new devices are actually pretty nice. They might never catch up (although I hope they do) on the ecosystem front. I believe that Nokia + Android and/or Nokia + Maemo were untenable, especially given the internal software politics Nokia was known to suffer.
