Satya Nadella confirms he wasn't in favor of Microsoft's Nokia acquisition

While it might not come as a surprise to some Windows phone fans, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has confirmed that he was originally against Microsoft's decision to acquire Nokia's handset business in 2013.

Spotted by Thurrot.com, Nadella reveals in his new book, Hit Refresh, that he voted against the acquisition when then-CEO Steve Ballmer conducted a straw poll of members of his senior leadership team on the topic.
