Yeah I thought the same about the blonde hair...
Personally I don't care what phone any person users, regardless of their position or what company they work for.
Saying that, I think it would have made for a good experiment to have one of their own people to see what WM users go through in different countries. What issues do users run into? Is MS vision viable in all counties, etc.
The main reason I say this is because MS is still so US based in their heads that maybe someone like Joe being out of the loop for a year with a WM would have maybe opened their eyes a bit.
Instead he's using an iPhone which generally has no issues anywhere...
