Microsoft is apparently feeling a little tetchy about Apple. A report in a German newspaper suggests Microsoft Germany banned journalists from mentioning Apple during a press event.
According to German publication Handelsblatt, a journalist at the Windows 6.5 event was given a severe talking to by a Microsoft PR person after talking about just how much he loves his iPhone.
9to5Mac’s (admittedly rusty translation) says: “While at a Windows 6.5 demonstration in Munich, Germany, a journalist was warned by a Microsoft spokesman not to mention or use Apple products since it was a Microsoft event. The journalist had previously told everyone that he had never owned an easier to use cell phone than the iPhone.”
We’d probably agree with him. But maybe Microsoft should have offered him an HTC HD2 for comparison.
