This guy has to go go. He single-handedly bankcrupt the largest cell manufacturer. Its clear to everyone in the industry that Elop's loyalties are with his old masters-- microsoft. He has done everything in this power as CEO to ensure that nokia has no other option but to rely on an immature OS thats 2 years behind android and 3 years behind iOS..

Some could argue that, if you're speaking solely on apps. As for the OS itself, its not that far behind either one.

Besides, Motorola did the same, before Google decided to by them. Considering the idea that WP is new compared to Android and iOS, Nokia has done fairly well. I think that will only increase this year into next, with the release of WP8 and Windows 8 tablets.

On the contrary, all the damage was done long before he got there....the worst he can possibly be faulted for is not turning the company around quickly enough, not for tanking it in the first place...
