That's why this move as well as Steve Ballmer's exit. We might see a different Microsoft now. Ballmer himself made this clear recently that Microsoft is a "devices & services" company & they did purchase Nokia's Devices & Services business. What will this do to desktop Windows operating system? They might turn it into a service rather than a product.

The deal is funny.
Microsoft bought Skype for $8.5 billion in 2011 and in 2013 they got Nokia for $7.2 billion ?

that happens in dot com world. things either are too costly or too cheap depending on the potential. Nokia was on downfall while Skype had its potential. facebook was valued at 104 billion USD during IPO and apple became most valuable company.

^It's all emotional outburst sire.
Nokia had a place in hearts of people, while MS didn't. So, not just Indians, other people are also sad by this deal. Even I am.
Had Google bought Nokia, there wouldn't have been such outcry.

Emotional? Yes. But we all know how successful MS are with their hardware business, particularly mobile devices. And we all know about Nokia. They were in trouble when Android started gaining, but Stephen Elop's switch to Windows OS was was the worst thing to happen to Nokia when they were already well headed into Maemo. That was indicative enough of the Trojan intents of Elop. This (buyout) was inevitable, but many hoped otherwise. We also know the quality of MS products. The Lumia ranges are still in need of software updates to utilise their capabilities. I would have bought a Nokia 520 against the Pantech Burst last month, if the 520 had Android. I have owned Nokia 3210, 1100, 2100, 6250 and lastly 5800 EM. That built quality is still with Nokia 520, but I am disappointed with the OS and knowing MS since 1997, I would rather not buy a Windows mobile. Ever.

There's a differnece between Windows Mobile (WM) and Windows phone (WP). Thought WM can be counted as a predecessor of WP, WP is not a successor of WM. Because they are not part of a same continuum of mobile OS development. WM was targetted at Enterprise users, whereas WP is primarily for consumers.
Well said. I wonder if Nokia employees worrying this much because of MSFT's deal..eh? why are everyone cursing MS? its not that Nokia was doing a superb business either.. Why would someone invest $7 billion in buying a company and then spoiling it? its not like MS woke up this morning and said . hey lets buy Nokia.. and Nokia like hey you want my company?? take it!!!

All who have no problem with this deal , please give your opinion on Elop. It was his decision not to go to Android. I used to wonder everyday why Nokia wouldn't switch to Android. Its not that Android was some competitor or an impediment to Nokia. Though it was to Microsoft's Windows Phone. This deal creates some negative designs which I haven't seen in corporations ever. Whether Elop was sent to Nokia to keep it out of Android , I don't know 
. Today, Android is synonymous with Samsung. It could've been Nokia.
