Rather than that, it just open Nokia up for countless possibilities.
This is just the first step forward. Whether or not WP7 or WP8 deliver what Nokia want is unknown. They can end the alliance anytime and switch to Android or whatsoever open source.
Besides, given Nokia progress over the last 5 years, they have nothing to lose really. They will need to find the magic formulae to get customers to look at their offering again. Why did Samsung gain so much popularity with Android? They were nobody at one point. SE was damn popular with their P series and now what. Not many want to buy their smartphones.
True about opting for alternate famous OS, and that'll be the only way for Nokia to survive again since no one will trust them for inventing their own OS again
But then again, opting for another famous OS that created by someone else .. just isn't too "Nokia" anymore
For me myself, I love Nokia because they have their own OS and everything else are also originated by them, the total Nokia-ish Nokia lol (Same as Apple, they got their own OS and everything that make them look exclusive and unique)

One man's meat is another poison. Nokia in trouble means I can get my N8 dirt cheap. Where else can you find a great camera with free GPS everything for RM1000 brand new?
I love Nokia and I don't wish to see them fail
