Just a few short months after leaving Microsoft, the former head of Windows Steven Sinofsky has been busted for firing off some of his tweets from — HOLD THE HANDSET — an iPhone. Traitor!
Or maybe this isn’t such a big deal? As @stevesi quite reasonably responded to inquiring Twitter user Albert Jelica, it’s not odd for a big time executive to be using phones made by the competition.
@albertjelica Sure I use an iPhone at times. I have a Samsung too that i use. I want to be familiar with the work of all companies.

That makes perfect business sense, even if it’s kind of a PR nightmare. [9To5Mac]













inb4 shitstorm.
not really news, Ben made a point of using an iPhone for while just to see what the fuss was about and what was supposed to be “missing” from WP8.
i would much rather heads of companies use all devices, that way we get better products.
PR can be the bane of the universe – do what’s right, dammit!
Seriously, who expected him to use windows shite!?
Poor attempt at a troll.
Poor attempt at reply from a windows user…
Revenge is best served cold.
Former…..FORMER !!!!!!
Steve Wozniak uses a Andorid device and Google recommend employees use Apple Macs, companies don’t gives a single shit about what device there employees use as long as it lets them do the work and doesn’t introduce security issues.
Woz also has a couple of Windows Phones. It goes both ways..
It does certainly go both ways. If you’re intelligent, a fluid thinker who chooses not to limit your world, you use whatever takes your fancy. And you see the differences in ecosystem’s as a strength which you use to your own advantage.
What sort of pimple brained moron likes to stick to just one, single ecosystem? God, I simply cannot fathom such stupidity.
