My comments

• I'm starting to dig the industrial anti-cute design of this thing. I wish there were more extreme industrial language used in some of these new gadgets (zune, droid etc) - maybe in a Halo-esque vein.
  
  Personally I am pretty sick of the fisher price/70's braun aesthetic of the iStuff. For the record, I have a few Apple, Blackberry & Zune devices in my daily quiver so I'm not a zealot. In reply to: "Is the Motorola Droid ugly?"

• I actually think he's got to be a much bigger hysterical prick to compete with the other hysterical prick at Apple. In reply to: "Ballmer delves into the 'new normal'"

• Only wish the industrial designer who made this beautiful specimen was in charge of fixing their fugly phone aesthetics. Love my bold but it's like a three legged snaggle tooth dog. In reply to: "BlackBerry VM-605 speakerphone plays nice with most phones, car stereos"

• @sanjayb
  You're still cracking me up - DOJ scuttled the Google/Yahoo because combined they would have 90% market share and your memory seems to be conveniently omiting the Norway, Sweden, Denmark and France equivalent of DOJ investigations of anti-competitive and anti-consumer behavior by our turtle necked gods at the fruit company.
  
  All three have been scrutinized for anti-competitive behavior. In reply to: "Ballmer's big mouth is good for Microsoft"

• Again an amusing cacophony of people who worship some abusive companies with monopolies and at the same time loath others who don't wear black turtle necks and aren't the flavour du jour.
  
  You guys just keep cracking me up. In reply to: "Ballmer's big mouth is good for Microsoft"

• It's endlessly amusing to watch people rail against the evil Microsoft monopoly while Apple ruthlessly dominates the music space and bullies the labels, developers and content providers and Google flagrantly steals and disseminates other peoples content to their own benefit, each through their own monopolistic machines.
  
  How is one monopoly better than the others just because it seems cooler at the moment? In reply to: "Ballmer's big mouth is good for Microsoft"

• This is identical to the Nanovision Mimo from Korea which is already in the wild.

• Lets try this again $250 - $2500 is cheap in my book but I fully respect your right to your opinion.
  
  MAPS -> use for business operations pretty much unrestricted
  Empower + Certification -> use for development
  
  Too restrictive/expensive for you still? No probs, use LAMP if thats what serves your customers and business model best. In reply to: "Microsoft offers free software for start-ups"

• I don't think I missed the point, let the market decide. Somebody starting a business can cost out MS vs LAMP on your cloud, Amazon EC2, Google and Azure. They do the math, make their choice and it's off to the races for them. Bravo to them for doing their due diligence and picking what's best to serve their customers regardless of the technology chosen. The MS scenario is just a new option to consider to lower the bar.
  
  If MS costing model + TCO doesn't have room for your clients to make money then they shouldn't be using it but they'd be ill informed to do it just because they've heard some bad hype on some anonymous comments on a random web site. In reply to: "Microsoft offers free software for start-ups"

• MAPS is $250, Empower is $375 and MS Gold certified is 2.5K/yr.
  
  If you can't afford that then you probably can't afford the personnel to run your business. In reply to: "Microsoft offers free software for start-ups"
