“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.
“‘No, we won’t do that. In the so-called smart phone business we will concentrate solely on software with our Windows Mobile program,’ Gates was quoted as saying,” Shields reports.

Aww, no Phune. That’s okay, Microsoft provides us more than enough to ridicule already.
“I even have the outfits.”
The very definition of a Kodak moment.
@chrissytwo,
Why do YOU, Mr. “why hide” use crissytwo as your moniker?
Surely a bright and honest man like yourself should put his name and email addy on here for all to see?
Nobody told you to leave, but you do stink up the joint…
@ TheConfuzed1
I don;t know why we’re even having this conversation – homeboy doesn’t even work there any more. If you think Ballmer isn’t running around the office right now, picking out new window treatments and installing banana dispensers and big tires hanging from ropes in all the meeting rooms, the you’re living in a fantasy world. Bill can say “We’re only making cheese from now on!” and it would be about as meaningful.

“Sure! I would LOVE to be under ChrissyOne!”
Many don’t survive. Most can never walk again. All go away smiling.
I used to post under John, which is my name, but someone else registered it and I cant use it anymore… also, seeing as MDN uses a pen name and so do most other poeple here (and posting a gmail email address is not revealing your identity!), I dont see why I should be any different.
I think she’s gone. All the thinking must have been more than she could take.
@ChrissyOne
Sounds good! Can I bring my wife? If yes, be gentle with her, she might have to drive me to the hospital afterwards.
@crissytwo
Oh,why didn’t you say so – JOHN!
Yes, John.
That surely identifies you as unique.
No mixing up JOHN’s!
Why are you here, really?
eHarmony kick you out?
@Me In LA
eHarmony? Feh. More like Lowered Expectations kicked him out.
Microsoft: LiesForSure™
@ ChristopherOne
“Can I bring my wife?”
If she’s really cute, you might be outta luck.
@ ChrissyTwo
“(and posting a gmail email address is not revealing your identity!)”
Honey, if you can’t find pictures of me in my underwear in under 2 minutes, you might need to take a class.
@ChrissyOne
What?!?! Why?!?! What is wrong with really cute?! You don’t like cute?
@ ChristopherOne
*YOU* might be outta luck. She, on the other hand…
;P
(you know I jest)
(or do I?)
@ChrissyOne
OK, she stays home.

“I’m the tall one.”
Nice! Although those belts are a bit re-volting. But watt can you do?
Now Now C2, it’s not worth it getting all rill’d up over who is and who isn’t MDN.
Actually, I have it on good authority that MDN is a 2 person opperation in a strip mall in upstate New York. C1, on the other hand, is a photog and computer whiz living in the Shire in Washington State. If you will just look on a map of the united states of america, you will see that this is a distance of 3000 miles. Much to far a commute to be handled by a venti frap and a bagel with cream cheese. (don’t you just love them?)
C1 – some of the best back and forth I’ve ever seen from you. BTW… Did you ever steal that sign?
I can’t cheat on my wife though… Tell you what, kill me afterwards so I would never have to look into her eyes.
Wait, this is sounding really sad…
ChrissyOne, we have to break this off before someone gets hurt. Unless you can deal with my hairy-ass AND my wife’s super-cuteness at the same time?!?!
Chickens!
Microsoft shows it’s yellow backbone to the world.
Scared Apple will wipe the floor in another failed business sector eh Bill?
How ironic that Microsoft chimes a response that Steve Jobs once repeated when asked if he was in the hardware business. I though he was in the software business and thus OS X is part of their DNA.
@ ChristopherOne
Deal. Only if you let me shave it.
(Sorry, I’m not good at stopping.)
@ Ampar
Again with the puns!!! We’ve come full circuit!
@ Sanctimonious Blowhard
“C1 – some of the best back and forth I’ve ever seen from you. BTW… Did you ever steal that sign?”
First – thank you!
Second – No, I only steal from Wal*Mart and RIAA.
