Barron's reports that Trip Chowdhry, a Global Equities Research analyst, says that 7 minutes of the June 7th WWDC keynote has been blocked off for Microsoft.

7 minutes of the June 7 keynote by Apple CEO Steve Jobs has been blocked off for a presentation by Microsoft (MSFT) to talk about Visual Studio 2010, the company’s suite of development tools. Chowdhry says the new version of VS will allow developers to write native applications for the iPhone, iPad and Mac OS. And here’s the kicker: he thinks Microsoft’s presentation could be given by none other than Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

Do you think there is any truth to this? Or is this as far fetched as rumors get? Let us know in the comments...

I hope it's in the last 7 minutes of Steve's presentation. Personally, I don't believe it will be Ballmer. Also, I think it will only be Silverlight shown... development to assist in media development for the iPhoneOS 4.0 - where Adobe failed.

A different reach to the subject Warren. Interesting. But why did you said so when Apple denied Adobe? I mean why would Apple, come together with Microsoft on Silverlight?

Yeah me too. Almost believed it until I read the Ballmer part. Jobs and Ballmer or Gates might come together in front of shows but Ballmer getting on stage in the house of Apple. I mean come on, which mouse serves itself on a golden plate to a cat. Also Apple denied Adobe from accessing iPhone. Do you think they will let Microsoft, their long time enemy just because Microsoft has a lot of Visual Studio developers that can produce iPhone apps. On the other side. Why would Microsoft agree to this when they have Windows Phone 7 Series on the horizon . I mean why would Microsoft let his developers work for Apple when they have something big coming.

Can genuinely see this happening? Really? Apple won't want any of the attention off them, and they won't let people use CS5 can you see them letting people use VS2010 to develop for iPhone?
