Poor guy can\’t catch a break. Chatting with analysts today concerning the world of tablets, Steve Ballmer put on a brave face about his lack of a sturdy competitor to the iPad, saying of Windows 7 products inside the works with third parties: \” They\’ll be shipping as soon as they’re ready.\” Unfortunately, Apple\’s iPad looms large, with Ballmer stating that \” they\’ve sold certainly more than I\’d like them to have sold.\” Perhaps more revelatory, Steve likened the tablet challenge to the location Microsoft faced when the netbook commenced as a Linux product, mentioning that section of their chore is \” tuning Windows 7,\” besides working with hardware partners. Obviously Microsoft is down, not out, in relation to tablets, but will a number of million iPads be their eventual demise or the impetus they must succeed? Tune in next week someday for the thrilling conclusion!
