 don't kick him quite _just_ yet - he's reintroduced a skunkworks
low-cost mobile phone project into nokia (again)... and it's
GNU/Linux-based.

 this _probably_ has some bearing on why MS wants to buy nokia's
smartphone division :)

 on the other hand, if you feel that this was entirely a ploy on his
part, i'll cheerfully lend you my steel toe-capped boots.
