Now that former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer no longer holds his position in the company, he can use any smartphone he likes. But given the four percent of Microsoft shares that Ballmer retained, he must continue to be a follower of Windows Phone devices or Nokia Lumia smartphones, taking into account the recent purchase by the software giant Nokia Devices and Services. So it's amazing to see how a man who hated the iPhone used to use an Apple smartphone. And even writes tweets from him.
In the social network "Twitter" there was an account called . The former head of Microsoft writes that his account can confirm Phil Schiller, senior vice president of marketing for Apple. The first Tweeter Ballmer, made with the application of Twitter for the iPhone, was "Selfie" with his participation.
Interestingly, back in 2007, after the release of the first iPhone, Ballmer criticized the touchscreen smartphone because of its price and the lack of a physical keyboard. And in 2009, the former head of Microsoft took the iPhone from one of his employees for trying to photograph his boss on the competitor's device.
In a recent speech to students at Oxford University, Steve Ballmer said that he would like to go to a time machine ten years ago to concentrate his forces on the mobile operating system Microsoft. As you know, he spent a lot of time on the operating system Windows Vista, which did not live up to its expectations. While Microsoft was working on Vista, Apple captured the mobile device market.
Obviously, Microsoft is trying to regain lost time. The company has already released a major update to the mobile operating system Windows Phone, the development of which began in the days of Ballmer. So why did this person use the iPhone?
UPDATE: Twitter has temporarily disabled the @MicrosoftSteve account, making it clear that it does not belong to Steve Ballmer.
