A lot of Nokia employees are probably happy it isn't going to be Stephen Elop. I know this one is.

I'm personally sad. Elop has much better comedic value. Nadella can even turn the company around and save it from irrelevance.

  Indeed, but it is less comedic when you watched the destruction from within...

    I have to admit it's much more fun to watch from the outside. Good luck with the change.

As a former NOKIAn I am sad. I want to see MS go down in flames and without Elop it's gonna be difficult. However Indians are also very talented at destroying the spirit of their own companies and alienating their users (see Harman or Adobe) so there is a hope...

  I'm sorry that you're sad. It's also sad to create a new account just to bash people.

  As a current Nokian I find your attitude to be unrepresentative of what Nokia stands for, and unfair to the great many Nokians of Indian descent who helped make Nokia the incredible company it was.

  I am impressed at your ability to psychoanalyze and shoehorn a billion plus people belonging to an extremely culturally, linguistically and genetically diverse subcontinent and paint them all with the same brush.

  > Indians are also very talented at destroying the spirit of their own companies and alienating their users That's kinda racist

    kinda?

  It's irrelevant what Indians as a class may or may not be. Considering the choice is about a specific individual, not a random selection from a group, there's definitely more information than useless (incorrect?) stereotypes. Ballmer's a white guy and did a fine job destroying and alienating.

  @nokia_chi, Wow! I'd like to hear your expert opinion on NSN CEO as well. /s
