M$ is going down since 2003 as one can see. Obviously a big ship never stops immediately after the engine is off. Inertia makes it run for a few time after stopping, but the only engine M$ has already is Office. The last engine they had, Windoze, exploded in february when they launch Vista. All other engines failed: Zune, Xbox, M$N $earch, Play4$ure, etc., etc., etc....10 years from now, M$ will be what IBM is today, a shadow of what they have been in the past and Ballmer will be in a circus.

And if they only sell one phone it will be worth it because everyone is talking about it...Apple is getting lots of free press.

Um... Isn't the point of the press to sell more than one phone? ;-)Imagine what the press would turn into if they DID sell only one!

Just because he's a billionaire doesn't mean he's not a fool.

Ok d**kh**d, but what is known is who and where they are getting their parts from and generally what the internal make up is. I didn't say he busted out a f**king schematic and went on an anti-iphone monologue, in no way was he "talking crap" about the iphone, he was just saying that its not going to be as awesome as you think you are. "NO ONE knows anything about the components used in the iPhone!! IT'S AN UNRELEASED PRODUCT WITH NO INFO RELEASED ABOUT COMPONENTS!!" No dips**t YOU don't know. And who the f**k are you to tell me that my brother would bulls**t me? You pompous f**k.
