Today at theAll Things D conferencewe saw a snapshot of what ’s wrong withMicrosoft under Steve Ballmer ’s tenure .
Walt Mossberg asked Steve Ballmer and Ray Ozzie , Microsoft ’s principal software architect , what they thought of Google , Android , and Chrome .
Ballmer yowl off about how Google ’s strategy of having two operating systems does n’t make any sense . Why have Android and Chrome ? Why do two operating systems like that ? make no sense , he say ,
After Ballmer is done , Ray Ozzie says , Chrome is a bet on the future tense , Android is a wager on the past tense .
We ca n’t guess of a effective representative of the Ballmer - geological era .
A competitor harbinger something modern . Ballmer goes out in public , play silent , trashes it , acts like he does n’t think it makes any sense , even though it does .
commend his quote on the$500 iPhone ? OnAndroid being free ? Ballmer care to express mirth at his rivals , only to become the goat years later .
Chrome does n’t make sense today . But it will make a lot of sense in the futurity when browsers are more herculean and WWW - base applications are more robust .
Obviously Ray Ozzie acquire this . Why does n’t Steve Ballmer ?
Interestingly , before the consultation started Ina Fried at CNetwrotethat Ray and Steve do n’t spill the beans very much . Clearly , that involve to change .
