Gates: The biggest mistake was not being able to build a good mobile phone system to compete with Apple

Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, who has been the world's richest man for many years, now devotes more energy to charity. In his spare time, he also talks freely and shares his life experience with technology enthusiasts around the world.

While attending an exchange event held by venture capital firm Village Global, Gates once again expressed his "resentment" about Android.

Gates said that his biggest mistake in managing the company was not making Microsoft the "non-Apple" operating system platform, but letting Android rise, which is a $400 billion business. He believes that the software world is a stage for winners. This sentence may have two meanings. One is that Microsoft was one of the top software giants at the time, but missed the opportunity of the mobile terminal; the other is that now iOS and Android dominate and become the new winners, and it is almost impossible for Microsoft to break through.

Gates said that in the software industry, a tiny mistake can cause huge disasters, and he still tosses and turns thinking about these things at night.

In addition, regarding work and balance, Gates’ view is that starting a business does require a lot of sacrifice in the early stages, because you need to prove that your ideas are correct, so you have to spare no effort.
