Forget Nokia, buying access to a database of truly active users is all just part of the plan...
Maybe now he has 8%, he'll up the ante and keep buying larger chunks the more people they lay off (whose stocks get liquidated as the ship sinks). Then when it's worth nothing, he'll introduce cram the twitter.com with the highest paid banner ads, adware (Ballware) and who knows what other form of paid miscreance.
Then as he makes money from all the impressions and downed payloads, he'll harvest the customer database, cross-reference the active users it with the MS licensing database (that he so carefully maintained and would have no trouble accessing), and start a wholly owned subsidiary staffed by paying legal interns to begin 'the great licensing collection' that will has been on the cards ever since Bill told him not to chase 'doze users to death for fear of hindering it's evil spread. Bill turned out to be right like usual (they do now reap the rewards of near-global domination, and extraordinary global market-share). All before stage 2; in which they roll out the world's largest surveillance program (aka telemetry service) by which total domination is assured and stage 3 can commence... bwahahaaa
