It is fully possible Elop was hired after the decision to go to the dar... cough ... to go Microsoft.

The previous CEO compared using android as 'peeing in your pants to stay warm', i wonder what using WP would have felt for him.

And pretty sure Elop's memo is evidence enough he was the one changing Nokia (Symbian -> Meego) strategy.

That Elop was the one to announce the Microsoft strategy doesn't really prove he invented the idea since going there.

Why else hire Elop specifically? The guys hiring him could have found a lot of CEOs with more telecom background.
