I remember, nokia about to release the first smartphone, full linux with a clean plain and simple C written OS/platform... and... then nothing happened. I recall the user groups being puzzled on what was waiting nokia, they were ready, had it all super open source and LEAN open source, and the iphone happened and they were bought by msft... ??????????

I think people should do/go where they have a peace of mind, whatever that place may be.
> But isn't that true for every big corp, or even every public company?
So I suppose not really, no.
