"We?re the only high-tech company with the track record and self-confidence to reinvent ourselves as we have."
This is a joke is it not? MSFT has been grinding out startling mediocrities for decades: Xbox, Zune, SPoT, PlaysForSure, Vista, Encarta, Money, etc. The problem is that MSFT has not had the COURAGE to reinvent itself, being content to emphasize intellectual theft to the shunning of innovation (because, what the hell, they have no alternative...).
MSFT will have another epic fail in WinPho because it has not invested in developing a culture of innovation. You cannot produce what you have never done. WinCE and WinMob were just thrown together junk to support the big WinMonopoly. They existed only as monopoly defenders and their authors NEVER considered innovation as important.
Now, surprise, surprise, the rotund, stupid fool at the top of the BloatFarm knows he must have innovation to compete. Good luck monkey boy. You cannot have what you never wanted because you never developed a capability to make it.
