“Microsoft Executive Mocks iPhone 4, dubs it Apple’s Vista”

A top Microsoft executive today compared Apple’s iPhone 4 to his own company’s problem-plagued Vista operating system.

It’s totally like Vista in that Vista had good reviews in the press but nobody wanted to buy it, and all the media is asking for the iPhone 4’s head on a platter but I’m convinced it will hardly make a dent in real-world sales. So… yeah.

(I don’t want to be a fanboy blindly defending Apple — especially not as their handling of the problem so far has been pathetic — but this lynchmob mentality is really pissing me off. OMG, Apple has finally made a mistake! Let’s all report and amplify it so that people stop being so in love with iPhones, it was indecent! And demanding a recall if gonna make us look like good journalists taking the people’s interests at heart!)
