Ballmer Comes Out In The Open

Microsoft's Steve Ballmer never misses a beat when trying to downplay Apple’s significance in the market place. After being dead wrong about the likely success of the iPhone he recently went into the realm of hypocrisy. His latest attempt to bash Apple took place at this week’s Mobile World Congress 2009 in Barcelona, Spain. He was quoted as saying: "I agree that no single company can create all the hardware and software. Openness is central because it's the foundation of choice." Microsoft as the champion for open standards? Gotta love it...
