Former Nokia employee - lived in Helsinki in the early 2000s for a bit, current MSFT borg (TED/DX) (many, many years in between) -- the stories coming out of friends dealing with Elop appointment, HUT being merged with Aalto, and then the cascading fall out was always an interest. Nokia always had (and through the legacy/current hardware (up to Icon), amazing hardware. The pivot the iPhone required and the software for such, takes time and resources -- apple ended up having the jump + resources. It was never clear to me if Nokia actually put the resources behind it. |

That happened in 2010, before the Elopcalypse got going, and you could quite well argue that it's HUT (15k students) that ate up Kauppis & TaiK (<5k combined).
