Nokia is like a ship with a hole in it, and Elop's job is to get it pointed in the right direction.

Except he hasn't. He's just bailed water a little faster, and slightly reduced the sink rate.

I give them credit for doing something daring and different (betting on Windows when they knew noone else would). It was a big gamble, though, and at least so far, it hasn't paid off. Android would have been a far safer bet in the short-term at the very least.
