that's a lot of money to convince Nokia to go WP7... I wonder how much MS gets from Nokia in return |
Just licensing I believe, at least in straight up payments. The fact that Nokia are completely dedicated to WP7 is a big advantage to Microsoft in terms of product visibility, both in stores and with ads. Not to mention that Nokia has much better carrier relations than Microsoft does. So I think the money is probably well spent on Microsoft's part.
