Friday was a sliding doors moment

Friday was a sliding doors moment for me. Nokia could have gone in several different directions and the decision was taken which surprised and shocked me but that decision is now made. One of the beauties of real life is there is rarely a wrong and a right choice; all choices have wrongs and rights about them and, unlike the film, we will never know what would have been the result of any alternative path - you have to live with decisions like these and move forward with them. The good thing for me about Stephen Elop's decision is that it is very decisive, clear and simple. We are now all on a different path in our lives working with Nokia and that path has been very clearly stated.
So I've just been downloading the Windows Phones developer tools this afternoon and going through the tutorials. Exciting times are indeed ahead. All I can say to any Nokia techies reading this please push for HTML5 and CSS3 (preferably webkit and not IE please) support as soon as possible; you need it to compete. I've read HTML5 is targeted for WP7.5 and that's the version which will be used but push for a webkit browser if you can please please please.
