Obligatory Steve Balmer reference: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2007/04/ballmer-says-iphone-has-no-chance-to-gain-significant-market-share/ http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2007/04/ballme... For some reason the original USA today interview isn't coming up.

With hindsight it's obvious that the iPhone would be a success, because the entire smartphone industry is now modeled after the UI and interaction model of iOS. But that was a really tough thing to imagine 10 years ago.
