Microsoft simply abandoning Nokia et al to have market to itself?

MS envious of Apple's methods? Not the first time,
but as usual, too little too late.

Remember, MS considers the business world to be a battlefield filled with
enemies to be destroyed.
Most people seem to forget this simple tidbit from MS's viewpoint.

"Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer."

Be afraid, be very afraid, if MS wants a closer relationship with you. Anyone
entering into any new joint venture or closer relationship with MS, should
realize they are considered an enemy and not a friend.

MS intends to destroy all enemies. They don't want to do deals with Intel, AMD,
HP, Sony, NBC, etc. They want nothing less than world domination of *ALL*
technology markets. The way to do that is to take them down one at a time, and
if they can get the others to take each other down while they sit on the
sidelines, so much the better.

People who can't see the full scope of MS's dark plans are shortsighted, greedy,
and/or naive. To me their plans are only too obvious. I don't consider myself to
be exceptional in the ways of corporate culture detection. This is, after all,
not rocket science. MS has repeatedly explained it's business philosophy. Yet
people and companies still stupidly, in the face of all facts and evidence,
commit acts of self-destruction by engaging with MS.

From the look of it, they will. Nobody else
will want to be in that ecosystem with them.
No partners, no developers, no customers.

I have always been troubled by the term "ecosystem"
that Microsoft likes to throw around. In an ecosystem,
there are predators and prey, and the only way to
survive is to eat someone else. I do not like that
image, and this is one of the big differences between
the MS "ecosystem" and the Linux community. Free software
does things quite differently, with civilization applied
to soften and evolve the brutal slaughterfest of a
natural ecosystem and make it a better place to live.
