That's a very charitable take on Ballmer's reaction. The Windows mobile platform may have been more hackable, but from an end user's perspective it was pretty awful.

Windows Phone is still the best mobile OS. I really miss it.

Windows Phone came three years after the iPhone. At the time of Balmers rant it was Windows CE, which was crap.

OH ok in that case I agree.

Wasn’t it more that it never reached critical mass? Every time I read or hear about Windows Mobile, users seem to have loved it.
