A senior employee at Microsoft has compared Apple?s issues with the iPhone 4 to their own Vista disaster.
Vista suffered from allot of issues and was labelled as Microsoft’s worst OS yet. The general feeling though, is that Vista was rushed. Windows 7 is what Vista should have been.
Kevin Turner, Microsoft’s chief operating officer, made a few comments when speaking at Microsoft’s WPC in Washington D.C., that compared the iPhone 4?s reception disaster to the doomed Vista.
"It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I’m okay with that,? He went on to say, ?One of the things I want to make sure you know today is that you’re going to be able to use a Windows Phone 7 and not have to worry about how you’re holding it to make a phone call."
Apple has still not admitted to an issue with the iPhone 4s hardware. There have been unconfirmed reports that slight adjustments to fix the device have been made on newer units. Apple are still insisting it?s a software issue, and iOS 4.1 beta was released to developer today. But early reports do not look good. Reception is still dropped when the device is held covering the left.
If I were Microsoft, I don?t think I could help but feel a little smug.
