@bazzacollins and if you remember that famous ballmer video interview about iPhone, he said the public would want windows. i.e. keep 90% -
@jonhoneyball@bazzacollins I remember that, loads of videos like that of him bashing products that are now prolific... MacBook Air etc -
@projiuk@jonhoneyball@bazzacollins Basically, in the last ten years, if Ballmer said something would flop it was a hit, and vice versa

@bazzacollins of the marketshare despite the market growth. MS gained none of it. -
@jonhoneyball Take your point, but assumption is that it *should* dominate every new market. Not like arguing Coke should be in hot drinks? -
@bazzacollins not an assumption — it was Ballmers stated claim that it would happen. -
@jonhoneyball Same could be said of Nokia, BB chiefs. They all said iPhone wasn't a threat. They can hardly publicly admit otherwise. -
@bazzacollins caution required that they are not misleading investors, though -
@jonhoneyball True, although what does it do to the share price when Ballmer et al comes out and say they expect to cede huge market share?
