Y'know, the way I heard it...the consumer market has always
been their last priority. Maybe something about their
corporate culture means that relating to actual human beings
gets you weeded out before you get into management?

It'd explain a lot of their decisions. And maybe even
Elop's decisions. I have a friend who's a lot like
that...really low on empathy - means well - but completely
unable to grasp how other people react.

Sure...a conspiracy to eliminate an open-source project and
snag some patents is plausible - and might even be plan B -
but - not at the cost of locking M$ out of mobile computing.

Albeit, I am a bit cynical and wonder whether or not WP
might simply be a blind so that M$'s current management
looks like it is doing something. They may understand how
thoroughly it is likely to fail.
