Ballmer is more often wrong than he is right. Not an innovator, not a good business leader, just a monkey in a suit.
Ballmer on the iPhone: "The iPhone is the most expensive phone in the world" while noting that Microsoft sells "millions and millions and millions of phones a year" while "Apple sells zero."
"I'd prefer to have our software in 60 percent or 70 percent or 80 percent of [mobile phones], than I would to have 2 percent or 3 percent, which is what Apple might get," he said. And just this past September, the Microsoft headman predicted that the iPhone’s tight integration with all things Apple would cause it to "lose out" in the long run.
