Hmmm... it just appears to me that Microsoft have no professionalism whatsoever. Even when they create a product to compete with a world-class product like iOS, they destroy it with this childish and pathetic show.
*shakes head*
Can we believe that 90% of the personal computers in the world run an OS made by people this pathetic and immature?
Microsoft knows that the only time they succeed in a market is when they use sketchy methods to force themselves into it. They'll never 'win' a competition of which product is the best. It amazes me that they even try.
Celebrating Windows Phone 7's "Release to Manufacturing" status, Microsoft employees held a morbid funeral parade for the iPhone and Blackberry.
No Android phones at the funeral. Microsoft's plan is to replace Android with WM7 and they can't be seen as attacking the hardware partners like HTC and Samsung that they need to run their software, so the elephant in the room is left out.

The real kiss of death is when you label yourself an iPod/iPhone/iPad killer. The graveyards are full of such products. And you know the 'big tell'? It's when they do stuff like this instead of showing you the actual product. 'Cause when they actually have to show the product... well... that's why they say 'talk is cheap'.
Of course, if Ballmer was actually IN the casket, you could say they've actually accomplished something.
Another big, fat fail a-comin' down the pike. Heavy-handed and pathetic. But that's nothing new from MS these days.

That photo was probably taken with an iPhone.
Actually, an Evo 4G (check the exif data on Flickr)
Then the CDMA iPhone comes out. Steals all the thunder.
AAPL up to 300.
MSFT like sheep lead to a slaughter.
Steve Ballmer makes an ass of himself again.
Seriously. How can they not see that coming?
Don't they ever poke their heads above the MS parapet and see what the real world is like these days?
does the kin crypt have some room next to it for the windows phone 7 casket?
Is there no respect in Redmond than to take a deeply emotional tradition and use it for pure commercial gain?

This could be Microsoft's "Mission Accomplished"
I see what you did there...

They are so irrelevent that this won't even come back to bite them in the azz.
Thats actually a good point
$23.65 approaching its Millennium low.
PS: Shucks, do ya think MSFT kinda misses Bill Gates?
