Microsoft is so locked-in to its pc model that all products either have to defend & extend that business, or they end up never making it to market. Microsoft is unable to listen to the market, so it doesn't know how to design products that meet market needs http://bit.ly/bRuFMA

I don't think it's a lack of confidence in WinMo 7. I think they still believe that Win 7 and Office are their aces-in-the-hole with a slate but they don't know their ace-holes from a hole in the ground.

Windows 7 and Office are a liability for a slate unless they are radically overhauled from the ground up for a pervasively touch interface.

I've never thought of Microsoft as an innovator or as being fast or even low cost. A mass market follower, yes, but not a very successful one in the recent past.

Have you ever tried using a Zune HD? Or are you just another fanboy shooting his/her mouth off. The Zune HD is a great device and was one a couple of presigious design awards – it was too late to market – it came at a time when PMPs were being replaced by Smartphones. Do you think XBOX sucks too?

Ballmer is almost iconic

:-)

Bill Gates must stop by Steves' house occasionally to see if he can find an iPhone mistakenly left out, or one of the kids comes running into the room with their iPad, screaming about their Scrabble game.

I don't really think anyone cares what “monkey boy” Balmer says or thinks about a Windows Pad. If it is Microsoft, it will be slow, buggy and annoying and obsolete quickly. Look at all those miserable WinCE Palm Pilot wannabees that never came close to being a useful PDA. Microsoft has yet to introduce a piece of hardware that does not suck in all manners possible.

“I don't think everybody wants a slate. I've been to too many meetings with journalists who'd spend the first 10 minutes of the meeting setting up their iPad to look like a laptop.”

Too many meetings… Ten minutes setting up their iPads…

Why does Ballmer have to pathologically lie about competing products? For this kind of lie to emerge from his lips he must have some serious issues. The only thing that could explain it would be if some of these journalists at too many of these meetings we terrified that Ballmer would throw a chair at them or some such and were effected by some kind of Ballmer Reality Distortion Field, where Apple products cease to work properly in his presence.
