Microsoft and the phone, please don't hang up some are saying!




I left Microsoft in 2000 to investing in a small hosting business and a mobile middleware provider because I saw the opportunity and just didn't feel Microsoft got it. We worked hard on them from outside, that was punishing inspite of us making more progress than most our size. Talking with Nokia and Microsoft in tat period 2000-2005 it was obvious they thought they were in it, clearly they were not. Oh to be so big that you can waste billions and who cares!
