After yesterday’s news concerning the termination of 7,800 Microsoft employees’ jobsin relation to the company’s mobile sector restructuring,comes a reportthat the company will also be closing a range of Nokia Care Points in Poland and other European countries.

These Nokia Care Points are essentially walk-in repair locations that provide customer services and repairs for customers with Nokia devices. Microsoft currently authorizes these locations but will be removing this authorization in three months’ time.

An employee at one of these repair facilitieshas statedthat Microsoft has decided to invest in larger official facilities in Europe so the need for smaller third-party authorised companies has ended. The contact takes care to mention that this decision had nothing to do with the success of the Nokia Care Points, which were doing quite well, but is simply a logical change in company strategy.

The loss of anyone’s job is always a tragedy but from a business perspective, Microsoft’s decision to close these centers does make a lot of sense. Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
