    I hate how Microsoft sent a new CEO to Nokia, who then tanked the company, got them bought by Microsoft, and then was rehired in another role by Microsoft.

    What makes it even worse is that they couldn’t even keep Nokia going once they did their takeover.

    I’m still furious about the whole thing. It’s insane they got away with such blatant market manipulation. Microsoft is untouchable.

      Me too. I always thought of Nokia as genuine innovator’s delivery good products. Not fantastic products. But good products with CONSUMERS in mind and their usage habits, rather than designing phones around optimizing selling us things.
