Here is another article that kind of makes sense. Microsoft will be merging RT with WP , so that means that they are scaling up in terms of hardware support, not down.. so they need something for the lower/asha end that has enough apps to attract buyers..

That something could be andro fork that looks/feels like WP backed by Microsoft's/Nokia's services.

Yeah Microsoft can make money with the services put there.



Exactly.

Replace

Google Maps -> Nokia Maps
Google Now -> Bing Tell me (cortana)
Google Play -> Windows Store
Google's music service -> xbox music
Google's video service -> xbox video
Google Drive - SkyDrive

etc.

Microsoft has the back end to support pretty much all services that Google offers, just like Amazon.
