Contrary to popular opinion, Microsoft actually has a sense of humor, which is where the OFone came from. It’s Gates & Co.’s tongue-in-cheek answer to the iPhone, complete with a so-cool-you-can’t-use it interface inspired by the Glaive from Krull. Microsoft put together this little spoof video for the Mix ‘07 Web design conference and there’s a fair slew of programming jokes to be found therein.
