Microsoft mobile executive Joe Belfiore won’t talk numbers

Joe Belfiore, numberless Microsoft executiveI could write a long post about all the things that Microsoft executive Joe Belfiore, director of the Windows Phone program at the software giant, said at the D: Dive Into Mobile conference in San Francisco today.

Without sales figures, Microsoft’s mobile hype is all talk. The company never hesitates to brag about how many Windows operating systems licenses it’s sold, after all.

Great haircut, Joe. Now get some numbers and you’ll really be styling.
