That's right. The entire Windows Mobile division stopped what they were doing on other projects so that they could all work on this one little robot. That's what happened.
...or what actually happened was that one guy who works on the Windows Mobile team built this robot outside of work as an unofficial project. You don't believe me? The guy says it himself. Click on the first link provided for your convenience in the msmobiles article. Then scroll down to read the sixth comment, where the author of the article (cross-reference the names) clearly states:
Also, WiMo is one of my hobbies that I have and is done on my own time outside of work.
So, to put it bluntly, don't talk crap.
Incidentally, Microsoft isn't a "phone maker"; they develop software that powers the phones designed and built by the "phone makers". A common mistake for those who don't bother to find out facts before they start complaining. |
