That’s Microsoft UK executive Phil Moore speaking about the iPhone and his company’s initial assclown reaction thereof. Better late than never, Phil! The first step is admitting you have a problem. Now you just have to… uh… fix it.

Moore was speaking at the Connect! tech conference in London, where he also admitted that Microsoft is “still playing catch-up” with Apple. I guess that’s true, in the way that Wile E. Coyote is still playing catch-up with the Road Runner. Windows Mobile 6.5 is a joke, and the punchline is that Windows Mobile 7 has just been pushed back until late next year.
