Gates: Microsoft won’t launch iPhone rival

“Microsoft will not launch a product that competes directly with Apple’s iPhone, Chairman Bill Gates said in an interview with Germany’s Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung,” Michael Shields reports for Reuters.

    ChrissyOne does not hide her identity. You change your identity often enough that they are naming a multiple personality disorder after you.

    I hope paid Microsoft Astroturfers also get medical coverage.

  2. How old are you, ChrissyTwo?

    If you’re not still a middle schooler, you REALLY need to find some proofreading skills, not to mention attend a serious grammar, mechanics, and usage review. You will be taken much more seriously (by all of us “smuggards”) on this site if you can differentiate, say, between “there” and “their.” (See your last post.)

    Otherwise, AmericanJoe said it best. Pack up your pill box and go somewhere else if you don’t like it here. None of us will change, so love it or leave it.

  3. “None of us will change, so love it or leave it.”

    Yeah, C2. You’ll find that we are quite a bunch of intractable bastards.

    ..I love you guys. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />

  4. Oh, hang on, I see. Because you dont agree with me and what I have to say contradicts your own opinions you cant hanlde it and the only way you can hanlde it is if I leave. What does that say about the strengh of your arguments?

  5. @ ChrissyTwo

    I never said you should leave. Actually, my posts tend to look all the more brilliant when cast in the dim light of yours, so you could stick around and be my sidekick. Kind like and Electra Woman & Dynagirl kinda thing… it would roxxor! I even have the outfits.

  6. Here is my prediction:

    This is a Microsftian attempt to copy Apple and Steve Jobs, by denying that they are doing it, right up until the time that the implement it.

    Don’t worry, they’ll screw their partners on this one, they always do. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />
