    MS bought Nokia’s mobile division in 2013, what you’re describing was in 2011.

    I haven’t used MeeGo, but compared to other OSes on the market, Windows Mobile was very strong.

      Microsoft managed to put one of their former staff as the CEO of Nokia and immediately after the take-over negotiations started. This took a few years to complete given the size of the takeover, but it was already set in stone in 2011.

      And I have used both and can assure you that MeeGo was much better and Windows Mobile was at best competitive with the back then also really atrocious Android, but nowhere near iOS either.
