Can Longhorn improve laptops?
SEATTLE–Microsoft’s Bill Mitchell wishes consumers were as excited about buying laptops as they are about buying cell phones. Unfortunately, says Mitchell, head of the company’s mobile PC efforts, there are good reasons 700 million cell phones were sold last year, compared with about 50 million laptops. Portable computers are too bulky, too slow and too quick to run out of juice, he told a crowd of computer makers Tuesday. “Customers are not really getting the value out of mobile PCs that they find in mobile phones,” Mitchell said during a speech at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference, or WinHEC, here.
