Maybe some MS share owners who believe in MS in the hardware market? After all, they will pay a ridiculously low price for Nokia's phones and a long license to all the relevant patents. Plus the right to use the brand, which might still have some value.

Over here the very same day Elop was announced to be the next CEO of Nokia, people were saying Elop's only job will be to crash Nokia's stock price and thus allow MS to make a cheap purchase. That used to be regarded as a joke, but I guess all the best jokes have some truth in them, anyway.

Well, all stories come to an end one day, and today happened to be the day for Nokia. It was good as long as it lasted. I reckon the remains will last another couple of years so that the company will have full 150 years of history before it will become nothing but another footnote in the history books.
