Does anybody really believe that's going to be the result of this? This is just laying off the people they acquired from that $7.2 billion Nokia acquisition.

The Nokia layoffs are only the first half. One of the last things Steve Ballmer did was restructure the company.

This created a lot of redundant people and groups.
