Why did the board allow someone like Elop to take such an
important position? Are the same board members still on the
board? Do they believe it is too late to change the captain?
The results were predictable and now seem obvious to
everybody in the world. Is the board really just going to sit
on its hands? Are the shareholders masochists?
Lots of questions here![ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

From what I can tell, putting the name "Microsoft" or
"Windows" on a smartphone is the kiss of death, even if the
device itself is really good.
In the minds of young people, "Microsoft" and "cool" seem to
be polar opposites. Windows has nothing to do with fun, it
is something you are forced to use by your school or boss,
typically over screaming objections of "why can't we just
use Macs?"
At least that's my perspective as the parent of a teenage
girl. She and her friends wouldn't be caught dead with a
phone from Microsoft. As she puts it, "only a total dork
would have a Windows Phone".
Microsoft has a really, really serious image problem in a
critical age demographic.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
