Microsoft appears to have grown itself a sense of humor, with the firm’s COO Kevin Turner declaring in a speech at Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference that Apple’s iPhone 4 “might be their Vista,” owing to the plethora of problems the device faces.
“One of the things I want to make sure you know today is that you’re going to be able to use a Windows Phone 7 and not have to worry about how you’re holding it to make a phone call” went on Turner, Microsoft’s new stand-up comedian in residence.
“It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I’m okay with that,” he said, adding that The iPhone’s could still be toppled from its smartphone throne, Turner alleged, noting “we’re back in the game, and this game is not over.”.
Despite the comparison to the brick that was/is Vista, however, Turner appears to forget that it took Microsoft a couple of YEARS to fix that problem (in the shape of Windows 7) whilst Apple is holding a press conference on Friday, purportedly to deal with the antenna issues.
Still, good on Microsoft for lightening up a bit, makes the firm’s employees seem almost human.
