Second biggest mistake was selling Apple's stock back to it in 2003. Third biggest mistake was hiring Steve Balmer as CEO. Fourth biggest mistake was not buying Google for $1 million when they wanted to sell it. Fifth biggest mistake was not offering a larger salad bar in the cafeteria.

Microsoft office and window should also die as they don't give free update for new version.

All pc's processing chips have secret functions and files that can never be found by anyone. Well not the consumer.

Windows could never have been the mobile phone software leader over linux based systems. Open source Linux is literally 100-1000 times faster and smaller than windows thanks to millions of developers all over the world. B.G.s big mistake, is trying to eliminate open source code the day he started Microsoft. In the days he started, almost all software was open source. His big idea was nothing but to charge money for stuff which was already free at the time. So he failed before he ever started. How he got this far, is that bankers supported and funded the greedy plan, which is now so obsolete.

If the Microsoft OS would have run in the mobiles just like the way way it ran on the computers with slight modification and if most of the software applications that we could run on the PCs could be usable in the mobile platform, then the Microsoft Mobile OS have given Google tough competition.

It’s never Too late, if Windows now can put more effort on mobile OS and user experience, people would definitely switch. 90%, smartphones are just a tool to access your applications. The remaining you gotta figure out yourself to standout from Google and Apple.

Now Gates is manipulating the entire world and POTUS to take control of TikTok because he missed his chance here.

Mr Gates you have still chance to get back in mobile industry if you focus on people interest

The mistake was, and still is, actually believing something like "winner takes it all", when they could have 5% of the market with Windows 10 Mobile and do perfectly fine with something like the Elite X3 and the Surface Duo. Bing does make money, despite Google's domination.

Consolidate on something, like on business customers, then go from there. But, to this day, Microsoft is always busy thinking short term.

Ballmer's personal business strategy was to keep his stake in Microsoft, so, expansion and profits were paramount.

They had to keep their smartphone brand and Windows 10 Mobile running, financing a little bit from other divisions till it gains traction.
