I like the decision.
Sigmund Freud defined four parts of a psyche; the id, the ego, the superego and the stratego. The Stratego being the highest form of morality and scientific thinking.

Microsoft just doesn't understand "too little, too late," do they?
You'd think they'd have learned from their very recent tablet failure. Oh well, I can't say that it bothers me to see Microsoft making more stupid decisions.

They have no choice. They must sell tablets and phones. It's their best choice.

There isn't anybody else for them to buy.

Perhaps not such a bad move. If they can market their phones to the blackberry market, and capture some of the Android people, then they will have a comfortable 3rd place in the market.
And, it's not hard to see how they could muscle out Blackberry. Blackberry is only in business because the business crowd still goes with them. If they can make their phones seamlessly integrate with Office and other business applications, then they can fell Blackberry.

Blackberry... sigh... I don't know what kind of moron there decided to focus on the consumer market, but goddamn, I hope they've been fired.
