Article written in Finland: Nokia and Microsoft on collision course
January 14, 2003
Make no mistake: nowadays Nokia is one of the most anti-Microsoft company ever. Please remember that Finland, country where headquarters and most R&D of Nokia is done, was until recently (until 1995 when Finland joined EU) a communist country under extremely strong influence of Soviet Union, and mentality of Finns still is determined by times of socialism. Therefore don´t you ever believe, what Nokia representatives are saying:
"We are not in competition. Nokia and Microsoft approach convergence from different sides", Matti Alahuhta, the President of Nokia´s Handset Division, declared firmly.
And don´t bother to accuse us of lack of objectivity: we don´t like Nokia and we consider it to be an evil corporation - based on its industry practices.
