Misdirect, stall, and pray.
Given what we’re seeing from Apple, Google, HP/Palm, and even RIM in the space, Microsoft is really, really screwed here.
Nothing is more depressing than Microsoft’s outlook in the tablet space. It’s insulting to think that no executive seems to think the Metro OS is a capable tablet OS. What market research are they using that says Windows 7 on a slate is usable in any fashion? There needs to be an engineer with balls that puts Metro on a tablet and brings it to Ballmer’s office.
“Hey, dummy. Look at this: Kindle app. Xbox LIVE app. I can stream media from my Windows 7 PC to this.”
Then he slaps Ballmer in the face with it.
Where is J Allard when you need him?
