One thing that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has always been great at is admitting whether or not another company has struck gold with a product, and following the trend of the times.
Ballmer has been adamant about Microsoft’s venture into tablets, like he is with anything Microsoft-related, and told financial analysts that Microsoft would be entering the tablet scene with “full guns” and that the Microsoft-manufactured tablet would be running a version of Windows, presumably a variant of Windows 7.
“They’ll be shipping as soon as they are ready,” Ballmer told the conference, not giving any details. “It is job one urgency. No one is sleeping at the switch.” Ballmer also noted that his company’s goal was not to only deliver products, but “to deliver products that people want to buy.”
As to how many iPads have been sold, Ballmer said, “they’ve sold certainly more than I’d like them to have sold.”
