Microsoft's Steve Ballmer to Present During Apple's WWDC 2010 Keynote?
According to Trip Chowdhry, an analyst with tiny Global Equities Research, 7 minutes of Steve Jobs' keynote is allotted for Microsoft. Microsoft will reportedly be talking about their development tool Visual Studio 2010. The new version of Visual Studio will reportedly allow developers to write native applications for the iPhone, iPad and Mac OS.
The move would be a big surprise given Apple and Microsoft's competitive history. In addition, the announcement of PC-based development suite for iPhone and Mac OS would be major announcement. At present, developers may only create iPhone and Mac OS applications from within Apple's own Xcode development suite which only runs on Macs.

OMG! No WAY, No WAY!
Too Good To be true.
I love Visual Studio I made several desktop applications in it, its like flash but without the whole flash part. Its better than Xcode and Interface Builder if you know absolutely no code at all.
One of my friends who does design Apps says Xcode's better if you know how to code or else Visual Studio is easier. It would be cool to see and would definitely mean teams for mobile, Microsoft and Apple vs. Google and Adobe and HTC ETC. ETC.
