Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s chief exec, has once again taken a slug at competitor Google. This time he’s questioning whether Google’s mobile phone platform, Android, will be able to make the grade.
According to The Register, Ballmer said that Google is low on Microsoft’s list of mobile competitors.
“They’ve got some smart guys and hire a lot of people — blah-di-blah-di-blah,” Ballmer said of his rival. “They start out way behind in a certain sense, and we’ll see how they do.”
The big question for Microsoft’s outspoken exec is where the money will come from.
“I don’t really understand their strategy…if I went to my shareholder meetings and my analyst meeting and said, ‘Hey, we just launched a new product that has no revenue model — yeah, cheer for me,’ I’m not sure my investors would take that very well, but that’s what Google’s telling their investors about Android,” Ballmer said.
