As much as it pains me, I agree with afv's assessment. Elop's (mis)management of Nokia will go down in history as one of the greatest acts of corporate sabotage ever perpetrated.
Nokia under Elop made the mistake of thinking that its product differentiation lay in software, when that has never been its core strength. As Ben Thompson wrote earlier today, "It would have been to Nokia’s benefit to have everyone running Android, including themselves. Everyone would have the same OS, the same apps, may the best industrial design, distribution, and supply chain win.
Elop threw it all away."
