Bill Gates acknowledged the biggest mistake he ever made was to lose the smartphone market to Google

Recently, in an interview with TechCrunch, Bill Gates - the founder, former CEO of Microsoft and one of the biggest philanthropists in the world, did something that celebrities like him rarely did, that is admitting his mistake. Specifically, Bill Gates admitted that his biggest mistake of all time was that he could not make a mobile platform like Android.

'The biggest mistake I've ever made is the lack of management that makes Microsoft not make a mobile platform like Android, a popular mobile platform. Microsoft could easily beat Android.

In the software world, especially with platforms, winners will capture the entire market. If you own more than 90% of the application, you are the ruler. There is only room for an operating system other than Apple. How valuable will it be? $ 400 billion can go to company M (Microsoft) from company G (Google). "

Microsoft has tried to penetrate the smartphone market with Windows Mobile operating system, going ahead Android for nearly 10 years, later Windows 10 Mobile, but not understanding the importance of mobile, not investing adequate resources, and constantly changing the direction that has made it lose in the race with Android and iOS. Even after the company bought Nokia to expand the market, the results remained unchanged.

Bill Gates also stressed that he was amazed when Microsoft survived that big mistake. Microsoft has turned to growth in the business sector and has become a world leader.
