Apple Watch – Steve Ballmer: Mac Buyers Pay $500 for Apple Logo

This is the same type of overweening statement that Ballmer used to dismiss the iPhone shortly before it launched. I’m sorry, but if Ballmer truly believes this than Microsoft is never going to compete with Apple on consumer products with him running the ship.

At the end of the day, he needs to focus on building a better product, not relying on consumers to buy something because it may or may not be cheaper.

    Word!
  • Agreed. Ballmer comes across as stunningly oblivious when he takes jabs at Apple. It's hard to believe that Microsoft will begin delivering quality consumer products when its leader keeps mocking a company with the best reputation for building things that people fall in love with.
  • Yeah definitely. I wonder how much longer he stays, I think even internally they must get a little tried of this.

    Google cannot innovate search. Iphones are useless, macs are just looks. Way to go Mr. "Out of touch" Balmer. MSFT share holders need to donate a mac, may be he will get it then.
  • Yeah with the Google stuff I could have elaborated even further, that was pretty funny as well.
