So if Nokia had made better business decisions, they'd be in better shape?
Interesting spin to try to blame MS there.
I get characterizing negotiations as "bribes" and "leaning." It's transparent, but to be expected.
But even if we allow that, it's a very bold move to try shift all the responsibility of ACCEPTING a bribe fully onto the people who offered it! What a great out that would be for every corrupt official in the world! "It's not my fault, your honor! They offered me MONEY!"
