For Microsoft, there's a lot riding on Windows Phone 7 -- namely its future as a player in the world of mobile. So it's understandable that execs at the Redmond giant are a bit edgy, which probably explains why Microsoft COO Kevin Turner made a comment Wednesday at the company's Worldwide Partner Conference that will undoubtedly have a long shelf-life.

"It looks like iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I'm OK with that," said Turner about Apple's antenna woes in his keynote address. Turner added that "you're going be able to use a Windows Phone 7 and not have to worry about how you're holding it to make a phone call."
