Honestly it was a bad call on Nokia to switch to windows. They would have been in a different place of they capitalised on their market share and switched to android.

I always find it amazing when you hear these insights into the downfall of once huge companies. It's incredible how terrible some people's judgement can be and a lot of these successful people are riding on luck rather than intelligence it seems

All of them, you mean. The people who build quality products are always kicked to the curb by money men who could give a shit.

See: GE, Boeing, Cisco, etc.
