Bill Gates Says Windows Phone Strategy Was Inadequate

puddingebola writes "Perhaps it isn't newsworthy, but Bill Gates has characterized Microsoft's mobile and smartphone strategies as 'a mistake.' From the article: 'In an interview with CBS This Morning's Charlie Rose on Monday, Gates admitted he wasn't pleased with Microsoft's performance in the mobile market, going as far as to characterize the company's smartphone strategy as "a mistake." "We didn't miss cell phones," Gates said. "But the way that we went about it didn't allow us to get the leadership, so it's clearly a mistake."'"

Nobody wants their phone to be as reliable as Windows. They want it to work 24x7x365

Welcome to 2013! You must be a time traveler from the late 1990's! Today, Windows is very stable, as is their phones. In the off chance that you're not a time traveler, you should consider working on your trolling skills.
