Ballmer Admits "We Screwed Up Windows Mobile"

Posted by kdawson on from the chairs-have-been-thrown dept.

Barence writes "Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer has blasted the company's own mobile operating system at the firm's Venture Capital Summit. One tweet from an attendee claims Ballmer said the company had 'screwed up with Windows Mobile. Wishes they had already launched WM7. They completely revamped the team.' Another claims Ballmer said 'we've pumped in some new talent. This will not happen again.' It's not the first time Ballmer has attacked Windows Mobile, having publicly stated that version 6.5 was 'not the full release we wanted.'"

    I just logged out to use the slashcode bug to preserve my moderation, to say to you that, yes, I do mod people down who starts their posts with "I'm going to be modded down for this." Because it is a cheesy attempt to get free insightful moderation. "Oh look at me! I'm saying something controversial and evil fanboy mods will eat me!" Que accusations of ms fanboyism and evil censorship.
