Microsoft's executive Joe Belfiore caught with an Iphone.

[Ridska]

This is a quote from the site BGR :

 

At this point, it seems as if the iPhone has caught more ‘cheaters’ than Joey Greco. Its most recent victim? Why none other than Microsoft executive Joe Belfiore. Currently the company’s Corporate VP of Operating Systems, Belfiore is primarily known for heading up the company’s Windows Phone division.

Currently on a 9-month sabbatical, Belfiore was recently traveling through Kyoto, Japan and published a tweet that, upon further inspection, was sent from an iPhone.

This is a quote from the site The verge :

 

Joe Belfiore, the face of Microsoft's Windows Phone, has today posted a photo from his holiday in Japan and, shockingly, it's come from an iPhone. There's an even split in the responses to Belfiore's tweet between those impressed by his new blond look and the people raising an eyebrow at his smartphone choice. But, honestly, the truth is that it would be weird if Belfiore wasn't using an iPhone.

 

Quote's from Joe Belfiore's comment from the website The verge :

 

 

On a 9-month leave-of-absence, I have a HUGE AND UNUSUAL opportunity to get to know these products deeply. To understand the benefits and drawbacks of a full ecosystem like Windows, Android, iOS — you have to LIVE IN IT. You have to feel its strengths and weaknesses, be let down, be delighted. And you can’t do that just “playing around” with a device for a couple of days. You have to learn the UI, upload your photos, use cross-device apps and tools… all of it.

 

So … I think Vlad has it right when he says “it’s OK”. (Thank you, Vlad.) But, I’d go farther and say “it’d be CRAZY not to”! In fact, when I posted on FB that I was taking a leave, I did mention explicitly that I would do this… and (horror of horrors) I’ve followed through, spending a bunch of time using Google Maps, Spotify, Periscope, a MacBook, a Nexus phone, etc

Comment : I dont know why people are losing there shit just because microsoft's windows phone VP was using an iphone.

at least its better than a windows phone

[Chasem121]

Is anyone actually making a big deal out of this or is this like the Starbucks Christmas cup thing where everyone was outraged at the 2 people who actually cared about the cups.

You are wrong. It is not better than Windows Phone. Because the people who use iPhones are assholes.

 

@Ridska What a fucking shame. If even MS VPs and Employees aren't using WP how do they expect it to be way more successful than it already is?

[Tagiau]

Its an iphone, its for the simpler folk. Like a microsoft exec.

[eLucid]

BURN HIM AT THE STAKE!

 

Christ, who cares.

I agree with you. I posted this just to show it to the forum and how over reacting people have been over this.

Agreed. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

[IAcKI]

Think of it this way I bet everyone would lose their shit if an AMD Exec had an nVidia GPU!
 

[sirtoby]

I don't understand what all the drama is about. The "Chefs" who are selling "great" "knifes" on TV surely aren't using that garbage at home. Just because you sell something doesn't mean that it is the best thing in the world or that you have to use it. I own a Windows Phone for one purpose: As a travel phone. It's got dual sim and offline navigation and it's doing a good job at both of those things. That's basically its only upsides. If your job is to lead a  company, then you don't want to be stuck with a crap phone that hasn't got any apps

Please explain why I'm an asshole.

[Paralectic]

Look at all the hate against Apple here lmao, kids.

Exactly

I am not an asshole , I hope...

[ignorant] iPhone users do piss me off too.

I had my old phone (Huawei Assend Y201Pro) which was a low budget phone from 2012 and the guy was calling it a "Samsung" and saying can it do this, I replied it is a $40 phone released in 2012, it cannot do much. He replies "Thats why iPhones are better than Samsungs" I gives examples of flagship phones that can do said feature, he replied "Nah, Nah" then said something else about how his phone is better.

[ShadowCaptain]

Just because you work for a company does not mean you have to use their kit

 

 

 

SNIP

 

Its not iPhone users that are the problem, the real problem is that people are dicks

[XTankSlayerX]

Why the hell was this even posted on BGR?

 

Who cares if people don't use their own stuff. It literally doesn't matter.

 

Guess who didn't use a device that belonged to a another company...

 

Steve Jobs, he used a BlackBerry.

Dont ask me , I just presented this not supplied it.

[AlTech]

ISK but generally people around me who own iPhones are assholes.

[exercutor5]

What's the big deal here? People still have the freedom to choose what gadgets they want to use, what brand of detergent they use to wash clothes, the brand of toilet paper, etc.

Same except Android and iPhone users are sometimes ignorant assholes. I have a $200 Windows PHone and they expect it to run like a $600 Android Phone. And also iPhone users giving me crap for not having snapchat and not having any games they are playing.

An Microsoft executive isn't using their own products and people are losing their shit.

If it smells like shit everywhere you go, it might be time to check under your own shoes.

Ignorant anything pisses me off.

Have an Nvidia GPU over an AMD one? great, I hope that you made your choice over solid facts and stats. not "because i don't want to burn my house down, lolololol, lololololol," otherwise I will slash your argument into ribbons.

Own an iPhone over an Android device. Great, but you better have actually tried an android phone before you start talking, otherwise I will rip your argument apart.

Own a Samsung over an iPhone. Great, but you better not have your reasons be "iSheep, lolololololololol, lololololol." otherwise i will tear your argument to shreds.
