"Well, tablet is an area that will evolve going forward. Certainly it’s a focus for what we’re doing in the Windows space, and how they’re thinking that space.

"Well, tablet is an area that will evolve going forward. Certainly it’s a focus for what we’re doing in the Windows space, and how they’re thinking that space. We’re going to have a bunch of netbooks and tablet stuff that’s in the works there. We’ll just see how that evolves."
Isn't that a lovely and inspiring statement from a tech visionary? Don't you get all tingly just reading that? (Oops, sorry, thats the circulation in my legs going out again...)
Whats wrong with most tech execs is they are waiting for something to evolve, and then hoping to jump on the band wagon. In the mean time, they are reacting by running around in circles and trying to turn the crank on the old machine faster and faster. Oh, and let's reorganize a bit. Yeah, that'll do it...
Embarrassing.
Jobs meanwhile, love him or hate him, is _making_ the next generation tech, one piece at a time. And he's making it well. And he's making it closed and proprietary.
I really wish our choices weren't between openness/freedom and quality/innovation, but that's how it sits right now.
- AmericanOP 16y agoI read your comment before I read the article. The quote comes from a recently released exec, not Ballmer.
- commieneko 16y agoI didn't say the quote was from Ballmer.
