Ballmer: "Mobile devices. We have almost no share"

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 20th Sep 2013 23:33 UTC

Speaking at Microsoft's financial analysts meeting today, CEO Steve Ballmer was refreshingly realistic about the company's struggles in smartphones and tablets. "Mobile devices. We have almost no share."

Right. Now that Ballmer himself admits it, can we please settle the discussion? Windows Phone has been a failure up until now.

I was quite buzzed by the surface RT and would have made a nice replacement for my laptop until I saw the price. A lot of the designers liked it (who are apple fans)

How are you going to do your job on a Surface RT? Has Microsoft ported over their entire tool chain already?
