microsoft is a joke, yes i have an xbox and windows pc, but they cant suport anything, my wife has had 3 windows smart phones over the last 5 years every single one of them sucked, she tried a PDA with the microsoft CE in medical school didnt work well the palm pilot way better. we didnt like apple so we tried the microsoft Zune, well 1 week later microsoft put out a new OS update and new Zune and bricked ours, it was 4 months later that most 1st generation zune users could unbrick thier devices they were literally forced to buy a new zoon to use thier service again. the xboxlive
is one of the most clumsiest interfaces ive ever seen except for the windows gaming live, wich is a very poor version of other game on demand places like STEAM.
microsoft doesnt inovate they immitate and poorly at that.
you can watch videos of steve balmer saying that nobody would want an ipod/mp3 player its too niche, a couple years later he derisivly said nobody would want a smart phone/iphone because pda's worked fine , then again he publicly says ereaders are niche and nobody wants them, then not to many months before the ipad came out he again said oh nobody would want it because its not a true computer.
almost every single time that steve balmer opens his mouth he is condescending and wrong. what keeps microsoft alive is the stranglehold that windows has on the pc market thanks to bill gates not steve balmer.
The ecosystem is there, for now ill play my music on my ipod, my wife will use her iphone for work/phone/apps and ill use my beloved kindle to read
