I think Microsoft sees Smartphones as strategic must have for long term.
MS saw that Nokia is the only player in the Windows market and Samsung is never going to be big on MS. They just bought the hardware and are making Windows phones into closed platform like iPhone is.
I don't think that Samsung and others are going to continue making windows phones after MS bought Nokia.
