Nice theory... but they went the opposite direction with Nokia. I don't think they'd have any issue purchasing Xamarin and importing/re-branding.

- coldtea 12y agoNokia is a totally different case, so doesn't invalidate his theory. Nokia sells to consumers, so there wasn't the problem (as his theory suggests) of corporate clients not wanting to have business with MS. Not saying that his theory is correct, just that it's different case to Nokia.
- Finster 12y agoNokia was also definitely pre-Nadella. The Xamarin theory supports Nadella's whole "cloud and mobile services" schtick.
- theoutlander 12y agoAFAIK, Nokia didn't want to be affiliated with MS...not the other way around.
