After MS-Nokia Pact, Many Nokia Workers Walk Out In Protest

Mr. McGibby writes "After the announcement of the partnership between Nokia and Microsoft this morning workers voiced their concern with the deal by walking out of Nokia facilities. It is believed that as many as a thousand workers marched out today (or took the day off using flex time) so that the company would know that they don't believe the partnership is in their best interest, even after CEO' Stephen Elop's startlingly frank 'burning platform' memo earlier this week."
Looks like many investors felt the same way.

come off it... Apple only exist now because Microsoft pumped money into them to keep them alive so that:

1) they could continue to claim they weren't a monopoly

and

2) to keep a safety valve open for the arty types who couldn't stand windows to prevent them from running to Linux and picking it up and making it beautiful...

If Microsoft was really playing to win the entire market, they'd have allowed Apple to go belly up
