No, MSFT (and others) failed at mobile because there is no amount of money you can invest to break into that industry anymore, due to all the moat the duopoly has built up. It's literally impossible. Google started early and got on the last train with Android. Windows phone started when iOS App Store already had ~300K apps, and Play store had ~100K apps. That was a couple years too late. The duopoly was always an order of magnitude ahead of MSFT, and in this kind of market that's what matters.
