“You don’t need to be a computer scientist to use a Windows Phone, but I think you do to use Android,” is one of the most pedantic things I have heard him say about mobile. Does he think that so many users coming into the smartphone marketplace are like him or his grandma? Please!, people that buy smartphones are tech savvy and most people under 40 in this country are savvy enough to render his statement a moot point! Your morphing into a Dinosaur Steve, its time to let some young turk make the smarter decisions for the future of M$!

The general idea amongst them has been only one device some time later this year, maybe.
