The truth about Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia.
In the afternoon, Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer sat in his office chair looking out the window, having a video meeting with his subordinates, and said, 'The company lacks a phone, let's buy a Nokia.' Fifteen minutes later, someone on the other end of the video passed the message, 'Nokia has been bought.' Ballmer asked, 'What model?' Subordinate: 'Huh? Model????' In the evening, major media around the world reported: Microsoft acquired Nokia for 7.2 billion dollars.
