Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer: Forget the iPad, Surface Is the Tablet People Want

zacharye writes "Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer undoubtedly knows that Apple has sold more than 100 million iPad tablets at this point, but according to the outspoken executive, that's not the tablet people really want. While speaking with CNBC, Ballmer said no company has built a tablet he believes customers want. 'You can go through the products from all those guys and none of them has a product that you can really use. Not Apple. Not Google. Not Amazon. Nobody has a product that lets you work and play that can be your tablet and your PC. Not at any price point,' he says."

Dear Ballmer:
Steve Jobs is dead for real and you did not consume his soul. You do not have his magical ability to tell people what they want. You totally got screwed by that exorcist or whatever wacko you paid for Jobs' soul.
