Oh. Apple will litigate aggressively, of course. But Nokia is clearly moving towards becoming either a target for acquisition as a whole or, after dismemberment, its patent portfolio is. Microsoft won't do it openly, however. It's more likely they'll employ proxies for that, not unlike the way they funded SCO's campaign. Besides, we are talking about Nokia's current relationship with Microsoft, not Apple.
Don't you think it's a bit suspicious a recently hired CEO who was until recently a high profile Microsoft employee discontinues a major platform investment on the eve of launching a competitive product (I have played with the N9 and it's a very good phone) and bets the company on a yet-unproven (and I am being more than generous on this assessment) Microsoft product?
