Nokia surges on Microsoft's home turf

I wonder if with the Nokia purchase MS will transfer Surface hardware design over to Nokia.

I think it would make more sense than to trust MS's current software/hardware integration team, whose efforts on the Surface 2 have resulted in horrific battery life.

The battery life appears to be more of a software issue than a hardware one. If you compare a MacBook running OS X to a PC Ultrabook running Windows 8.1 with equivalent hardware, the MacBook will win the battery life contest.

So I wouldn't necessarily attribute battery life to hardware issues.
