Microsoft Executive Compares iPhone 4 To Vista

The Apple iPhone 4 has just been compared to Microsoft’s Vista, considered by many as one of their worst operating systems. Microsoft’s chief operating officer, Kevin Turner, announced in a keynote speech at Microsoft’s Worldside Partner Conference (WPC), “It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I’m okay with that.”

Vista, the successor to Windows XP, was launched in 2007 and quickly became critized by users. Similarly, the iPhone 4 has already been heavily criticized for its widely known call reception problems after its recent June 24th release. Buyers have complained that touching the external antenna on the phone often results in dropped calls or plummeting signal strength.

Late Tuesday, Consumer Reports Magazine told buyers it would not recommend the iPhone 4, which was the first time it had given the iPhone the label of “Not Recommended.”

Growing sentiments following the disappointing release of the iPhone 4 has energized Microsoft for its Windows Phone 7. The Windows phones are expected to be released in November, and are being highly anticipated by Microsoft executives. “We’re back in the game,” says Turner. “And this game is not over.”
