Holy toodlyoo! This is about as close to admittance of defeat as you will get from those guys up in Seattle!

I can't believe he actually said:

No offense to the Pocket PC, but we might need to bring .Net services to Palm and other [handheld] devices


It's as if he's trying to distance himself (and MS) from this WinCE thingy :)

Reminds me of Clinton's first denial. Something on the lines of "I did not have relations with that woman, Ms Lew.."

I saw an interview with a body language expert who later claimed that the usage of the term "that woman" was unconsciously used to distance himself from the whole affair- as if he was a "third" party to the whole thing.

Where am I going with this? I think that the quote from Ballmer signals the same thing:

"No offense to the Pocket PC..."

I have too much time on my hands I think ;)
