...... No. Just no. Whatever voodoo did Ballmer do to you to make you think that? 2 words for you: Microsoft Kin. Next silly notion, please. To be a bit more in-depth: No, really, what did they handle well? Windows 7 is them, as usual, milking a cash cow. The strategy employed here (making people wait for over a decade for any excuse to upgrade from XP) obviously is never going to fly, _at all_, in the mobile phone market, or any other market where microsoft is NOT blessed with a massive market share already. Everything else sucked barnacles. Gun to my head, Kinect counts. I guess. Not much relation between that and mobile phones though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
