A welcome break from all the reports that Apple are doomed

This, if you recall, was Steve Balmer's response to Apple launching the iPhone back in 2007


a little bit later, he was out

I know one fool said he'd buy AAPL when it $90, but didn't have confidence in Apple, said Facebook would do better. Sadly he's now missed the boat!

AAPL was available at $90 and even dipped to into $89. Now show me where I said Apple were doomed.
