Wozniak Praises 'Beautiful' Windows Phone 362
judgecorp writes "Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has praised the user interface of Microsoft's Windows Phone, saying that aspects of its user interface are more 'beautiful' than comparable sides to the iPhone. The comments, in a New Domain, follow on from a comment by Forrester boss George Colony who blogged that Apple would decline in the post-Jobs era. Both pieces have kicked off the kind of online argument you would expect."
Who is this Wozniak guy? (Score:5, Funny)
Probably some Anti-Apple shill.

Yes, because anecdotal evidence tends to be more true.
I've found that to be true in my personal experience.

Apple's co-founder Steve Wozniak
Sadly, most Apple fans these days don't consider Steve Wozniak the co-founder of Apple. They think Steve Jobs said "Let there be light" and then created everything Apple by himself. And I wish I were joking.

"Yeah, I played with it too, and it did feel like an early release product."
You mean it came early? Eeewww.

Windows did it.
We all know it.
If Windows is anywhere near the scene of the crime, "Windows Did It."
Have we learned nothing?
The last good OS from Microsoft Was DOS 6.22. If you replaced command.com with 4dos.com.

Current ones, maybe. You could cast one of the old Nokias (the old, phone-shaped ones) into Mt. Doom and it would still work (although I bet Mordor gets pretty bad reception).

Wish I knew how to get my beak wet on this. I have a WP7 phone that I simply adore and I'd love to get paid to say nice things about it. Maybe Tech* can hook me up?

I wonder what kind of phone he actually uses...
Probably one cobbled together from parts he cannibalized from old radios, digital toasters, and Clinton-era computers, running a custom ROM he flashed to the BIOS chip and a barebones customized "GNU/Linux." He has to carry the motherboard and RAID in a hemp backpack (which doubles as his exercise regimen), it has a full QWERTY keyboard that he keeps in a side holster so he can run his EMACS-based SMS client, and the display is a naked LCD running on an ISA framebuffer card, connected by a ribbon cable coming out the side of the monitor. He suspends the monitor from a helmet so he can go "hands free."
It ain't purdy, but IT IS FREE!

Yeah, and they've been paying clueless morons to rave about their shit on the internet too.
Well I certainly never saw a dime of that money.
