They really don't get it do they?  a warning to anyone that partners or forms an alliance with MSFT - it's a death trap...and they're as clueless as you are....NOK's market share warning last quarter in the mobile space is all put into context now with these 2 articles alone...i'm a heavy BB addict & user....yes, i really do long to be able to view and edit Office documents on my tiny 2" screen.  ..NOT....this whole smartphone and netbook/smartbook movement is all built around one thing:  the internet...not Office document productivity!...GOOG's Android/Chrome is bang on in this respect...for anyone wondering how the Chrome browser lays the foundation for GOOG's next OS, it's because we live in a web-centric world...i dunno about you, but outside of the office, the only thing i use my desktop and netbook for is the internet.  the only thing i need to 'open' is a broswer....i mean even Motorola of all companies 'gets it' with their support of Android in their next gen smartphones...
