They did the same with Nokia. The head of Vodafone is the former head of
Microsoft's failing Mobile Unit. He left to join Vodafone just weeks ago.

Regarding Nokia, the man who killed Ogg (as far as HTML 5 is concerned) was a
former Microsoft employee. They recently did some DRM and Silverfish deals as
well. Hardly a coincidence.
