BillG: We're being spanked by Nokia
by Volker Weber
Nokia is creaming Microsoft in the phone business, Bill Gates said yesterday. Gates admitted the company is "way, way, way behind Nokia", according to a Financial Times report.
Three "ways" is significant - because Bill's "way"-scale is logarithmic (not a lot of people know that) - and the comment punctures the publicity bubble which accompanied the launch of the Windows-based Orange Smartphone this week.
