Bill Gates: People would use Windows Mobile if not for antitrust case

  He's smart and rich but wrong in this case, Microsoft was paying developers to make apps but iOS at that point had killed incentive to make Windows Mobile apps - we would have had to buy a Windows machine and a Windows phone after we already invested in the much more successful iOS ecosystem. He does not even mention iOS but says Android killed Windows mobile - I thought very few people spent money back then on Android Play Store versus iOS App store, and people targeted the iOS app store over Android unless they had specific market needs for an Android app in the early days.

  No. It was not good.
