I think I’m going to advertise myself as an “analyst”. Trip Chowdhry said that Microsoft’s CEO, Steve Ballmer, would have seven minutes at the upcoming WWDC to introduce Microsoft’s Visual Studio 10. And that VS10 would allow Windows devs to make iPhone apps.
Where did I put my hip-waders? Where do I even begin? First of all, there is NO way in hell that Ballmer gets stage time at Apple’s biggest event. Especially after Ballmer’s past comments about the iPhone.
Second, let’s just say that we do live in crazy land. Is seven minutes enough to introduce something as huge as a cross-platform development tool? No.
I’m tired of these “ANALysts” that pull “news” straight out of their ass. Perhaps it’s because it’s in the name?
I’m really convinced they’ll say anything just to get page views (as Chowdhry is saying today that Ballmer will not be at WWDC and there won’t be any Microsoft announcement).
But, like a bad movie leaving the door open for a sequel, he concludes his contacts “insist that both Apple & Microsoft are working on development tools - probably our timing is off”.
You better duck lest the pig hits you in the head.
