I don't what the problem is here, if you watch the interview he was asked about Siri and he explains that Tellme allows you do very similar features, ie you can say 'send text to bob' and it guides you through that process, or you can query things with Bing. He even concedes that Apple has far better marketing around these features, but makes the point that it was the only real new feature of the phone.
All of this is true, and it is hardly newsworthy. What else was he to say when asked about Siri?
PS, interview is here: http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericsavitz/2011/11/23/microsofts-craig-mundie-on-siri-been-there-done-that-video/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericsavitz/2011/11/23/microsofts... skip to 1.50
- quesera 15y agoThe problem is that he is either being intentionally deceptive, or hasn't used Siri. Dishonesty and/or ignorance from someone of his stature merits a public pillorying, don't you think? Edit: third possibility: he doesn't actually see the difference between voice control functionality (a la Microsoft's or Apple's prior products) and Siri. That's when his senior staff start looking for new jobs.
