Ballmer Slams Android As Cheap and Overcomplicated
jfruhlinger writes "On the day Android Ice Cream Sandwich was released, Steve Ballmer livened up the Web 2.0 conference by lobbing potshots at Google's mobile OS, calling it the choice of 'cheap' phones and claiming 'the biggest advantage we have over Android is that you don't need to be a computer scientist to use a Windows Phone.'"

You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
It was easy update 98% of them. In microsoft's offices for their direct employees they just ran to their desks and swapped out the free phone they gave them, for a new free phone for their employees. They just couldn't track down the 2% of their phones that were bought by people intentionally.
And that Palm copied from Mac OS, which presumably copied it from Xerox?
Xerox copied from itself :P
