Ballmer Click Interview

The BBC tech programme Click online interviewed Ballmer post CES and although they clearly had an agenda to show that Windows 7 was not really tablet ready they did expose a significant corporate blind spot.

Ballmer was very defensive about the OS being easy to use on a Tablet. But what I cannot work out is why Microsoft, the pioneers of tablet in the early 2000s simply are not market leaders here. Why is Windows 7 lagging, surely it must have been seen as a strategic thing for them?

Then the news of the Nokia tie up, with some economics commentators saying they have never seen such things go well.
