Apple has edged itself as mainly a mobility company, with products such as the tablet and smartphone, and that area also confirmed troublesome for Microsoft. Windows Phone has engrossed vital admiration but not adequate sales to dent either the Apple iPhone or the mounting family of Google Android devices; and Microsoft remains basically missing from the tablet game in anticipation of the launch of Windows 8 sometime in 2012.
Jobs as well had a few things to say concerning existing Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. He said "When the sales guys run the company, the product guys don't matter so much, and a lot of them just turn off." "It happened at Apple when Sculley came in, which was my fault, and it happened when Ballmer took over at Microsoft. As the outcome, I don't think anything will change at Microsoft as long as Ballmer is running it," Jobs is quoted in the book.
The disclosure from Jobs' biography prolongs. Not only did he work on an Apple TV set, and think the iPhone 4's antenna problems were piece of conspiracy by Google and Motorola, he also singled out an improbable character for praise.
