Well, yes and no. I think the plan was to stop mismanagement after the purchase, but someone forgot to execute that part.

I think it was more Ballmer not having a clue about mobile. When I first saw his idiotic response to the initial iPhone I knew he would fail hard in the mobile space. Even today I think his idea of a smart phone is a Windows Mobile 6 device.
