I sure hope they waterproof it. Sorry Steve.
I'm laughing my ass off at his answers though.
"I relish the competition. I relish holding up those couple of machines today that I wanted to hand you. It's not today. I'll relish doing it tomorrow. Bring on ‑‑ particularly if with the application base, with the tools that we have, with the user understanding and momentum and everything going on, we can't compete with ‑‑ particularly whatever the weird collection of Android machines is going to look like, shame on us."
I hate to even hint at politics here, but does he not sound like Sarah Palin in that response. Unfocused and just blabbering on for the sake of it.
Microsoft's real problem is that they just have too much management, and they deeply miss the commercial and technical instinct of Bill Gates. As a result, they just can't iterate quickly on any meaningful scale.
Microsoft's best hope for a decent tablet is to bang hard on the Windows Phone 7 stuff, but they are way behind, and may end up being 'niched', though unlike Palm with WebOS, they have the deep pockets to pour money into Win Phone 7 forever.
Just one screenshot of a Norton, Symantec or Macaffee dialog demanding an anti-virus subscription, and the Windows 7 tablet is toast.
