Apple co-founder: Steve Jobs might have been reincarnated at MS

[DjiXas]

I also surmised that Steve Jobs might have been reincarnated at MS due to a lot of what I see and feel with this phone making me think of a lot of great Apple things.

I love Woz. He just likes cool things and doesn't stick to petty technology alliances. Thank you, Steve!

Smart man! All the reasons he cited are the exact same reasons I became such a WP fan. The man knows good design!

This is going viral too, so there are going to be some extreme headlines like "Apple Founder uses Microsoft product." n the less informed news centers. Just some good promotion, right!

Haha ahh yeahh, go Microsoft! I'm really happy to see this. Microsoft has an amazing OS when it comes to everything, people just have to learn how to use them properly. And then good part of WP7 is that it's very easy to use

It takes a little getting used to, but when you get used to it, it's amazing! This is the kind of story that gets Apple diehards to try something new

Do you think maybe Microsoft paid Woz? It would be a great marketing ploy.

Woz is in such good financial standing that Microsoft paying him off is extremely unlikely. He uses Android as well, and I doubt Google paid him off. The dude just likes good technology!

Steve Jobs would never design something like Windows Phone. It's too futuristic looking. He was always about faux realism.

True. I think Woz was saying that the thoughtfulness and elegance was Steve like, not Metro itself

exactly ....Steve Jobs was more of a "Make it Simple Guy"...he wouldn't have thought up a Windows phone...but still he is one of the greatest innovators of the decade...

I wouldn't be surprised if Woz back-peddled a bit on that statement. He did the same kinda thing when ICS launched for Android and later qualified it so he could stay on good standing with Apple. He's a tech-nut and early adopter who just loves new things, which is awesome. But I think most people place too much importance on what he says flippantly about new stuff.

It's akin to Oprah's favorite things, except anyone who follows him is a nerd. He doesn't need to backpeddle either, because he's publicly supported other things without a problem.
