   They are free in turn to make choices of their own.  With Nokia entering   
   into a partnership with Microsoft, there is now less choice overall.   
   They have to follow the course of action that they believe will be the   
   most profitable but I hope that it is a stop-gap while they focus on   
   developing a new mobile OS or continue Meego development until it is   
   ready to take centre stage.
