Well, it turned out not. Rumours surfaced earlier this week about Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer speaking at Apple’s WWDC 2010 keynote. It turns out not. The enemy’s enemy denied. The rumour had earlier said that Microsoft’s CEO would have 7 minutes at the keynote to talk about a new version of Visual Studio 2010 producing iPad, iPhone and Mac apps.

Microsoft is risking becoming irrelevant. They aren’t the giant that they used to be anymore, and I wouldn’t have been surprised had Microsoft decided to pick sides. Already, Microsoft seems to be leaning toward Apple when they supported the latter’s anti-Flash campaign. Apple’s becoming the new Microsoft. Incidentally, Apple’s market capitalization passed Microsoft’s by US$2B for the first time earlier this week.
