Android co-founder Rich Miner blames Microsoft’s failure in the mobile market on Bill Gates, citing his role in losing the smartphone wars to Android. Miner revealed that Android was designed to challenge Microsoft’s push to dominate mobile, as it did with PCs.
Bill Gates admitted losing to Android was one of Microsoft’s biggest mistakes, costing $400 billion. The delayed launch of Windows Phone 7 in 2010 sealed Android and Apple’s dominance.
