Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer predicts a turnaround in Windows Mobile’s market share, driven by the upcoming Windows Phone 7.
In an interview with CNNMoney.com’s Poppy harlow, Ballmer says, “We can do very well in mobile… [with] Windows Phone 7 which ships this year.”

“I like our [mediocre] strategy; I like it a lot.”
Oh yea sure! And pigs still fly.
Ho Hum! :/
But 7 is bigger than 4 so it must be better than new iPhone!
Why do MS stockholders believe that the guy who managed to squander Microsoft’s dominance in “mobile” is the guy who can get it back?
He is Apple’s most sucessful fifth column agent…….ever.
“We’re doing very well in mobile… (I know because the voices in my head tell me so.)”
They should call it Widows Mobile 8….
That was MY!!! Idea!
LOL
So the company that couldn’t keep RIM’s Blackberry from becoming the de facto business phone and had it’s head handed to it in the consumer space by Apple is going to suddenly reverse 6 years of erosion?
Good luck with that, Bozo. Microsoft has no meaningful presence in mobile. But it will be awesome to see and hear the Gizmodo, Engadget et al fanboys flip out when they realise how useless Win 7 phones are going to be.
He sounds more and more like Baghdad Bob every day.
Notice how he said Swoooooosh,
Hey Steve, thats Exactly how ur Flushing Bill Gates Cash Down the Toilet u Moron !!!!
“Dance Monkey Boy Dance”
Delusional!
Yes this would be the guy who predicted they would never start to do badly, ridiculed the iPhones lack of apps by comparison with Winmo and declared touch screens were nothing but a toy. I’ll invest my savings with him then.
Maybe he meant they’re selling really well in Mobile, Alabama..?
That’s my favorite MDN Take ever, and I’ve been coming to this site for 5 years.
ZUNACY
I simply don’t understand this…Ballmer is way beyond moron class. There must be something else…maybe he holds major APPL? Maybe he thinks this will lead to a leading role in Barnum and Baily? Don’t get me wrong, MS deserves this guy and I hope he continues, but it is just very puzzling how he remains where he is….
It is unbelievable how bad he is on camera.
He gives me the creeps.
I feel like I am listening to a dishonest, con artist, used car salesman.
I need to take a shower and disinfect myself after watching the Ballmer video.
In the video, his “we’ll take-off from there” sound seemed more like a “squirt” sound. I guess he’s still Zuning.

He actually sounded more reasonable in that video than in his other recent comments.
I do like Steve’s Egyptian strategy. I like it a lot.
He’s always in denial.
I just can’t believe that the Board hasn’t sh!t-canned this guy already. What morooon.
I’d rather have windows eating away at droid marketshare. So I think this is a good thing actually. I hope it is a good phone. iPhone will not be affected by it.
Choice …. Bad and Worse
Wll-received by the Blogisphere? How about consumers?
Is he for real? Is he on drugs?
