Some people might compare it with Google's acquisition of Motorola this is different but comparable as Nokia and Motorola are a gold mine of Patents. There are many differences between the two, Nokia is not dead yet. In Asia it is still one of the respected Companies and Motorola's days were over when Google bought it, this means Microsoft doesn't have to do much to revive it
Nokia will now focus on technologies which are built around smartphones(its Sad) like Here Maps although they have licensed it to Microsoft for the next 4 years, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop is also heading back to Microsoft, not sure what he will do there but there will be a lot of changes as Steve Ballmer also announced his retirement few days ago.
But can Microsoft succeed where Nokia failed? Was Nokia holding Windows Phone back, or was Windows Phone the problem? The big questions aren't going away, but maybe now we'll get answers.
Many people will be upset because of this news but I will say "this is really not the end of Nokia, that happened years ago" today they successfully sold a sinking ship at a good price, there will also be a few people who will say they could have made some android phones and repaired their ship, well to that it was already a little too late...
This is positive news for Microsoft and Microsoft alone nobody else has anything to gain from it.
