Ballmer Reflects on Microsoft's Smartphone Market Miss

Imagine Microsoft wanted to put Windows, like the one on your computer, on phones too.

But it didn't work so well because Windows wasn't made for phones.

Steve Ballmer, a boss from Microsoft, said they were too sure it would work everywhere.

An Android creator, Rich Miner, said that Bill Gates' decisions were the reason for losing the smartphone market.

They tried to force Windows onto phones, making them clunky.

Miner wanted to make a phone system, Android, that anyone could use, unlike Windows that only Microsoft controlled.

Because of Microsoft's choices, they missed out on making a lot of money in the phone business.
