Remember
when Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer laughed at the iPhone mentioning it
doesn’t appeal to business customers? If you missed it, here it is…
Well, it looks like Microsoft is developing an Office suite for the iPhone which obviously means it has changed its stance on ‘iPhone appealing to business customers’ – just like SAP few weeks ago.
It is also interesting to see Microsoft executive asking how many iPhones are present in the audience rather than Windows Mobile devices. Looks like they are learning a thing or two looking at Apple and not blocking iPhone from their offices (unlike Bill, who banned it from his house).
They did the same to Open Source too. Reminds me of Gandhi’s saying
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win” Poor Microsoft 🙂
