Nathan Myhrvold's reply is interesting, 20 years later and windows is a pretty easy experience now. Games on Xbox is massive, though I'm sad that they didn't embrace VR. Playstation seems to have outflanked them there.
Their mobile game isn't really there though, but I'm not sure if they care, and it seems like the vacuum that java was expanding into was too big to leave be, hence the c#.
- munchbunny 5y agoThey tried to get a foothold in mobile (even bought Nokia’s mobile phone business), they just didn’t succeed. Given how long Windows CE was around and then whatever they called the subsequent mobile focused OSes, I’m sure they did care while they still had a shot, but Android ate their lunch. Probably deserved to IMO, in the limited mobile development I’ve done Android was an easier platform to develop for. 10-15 years later, Microsoft is adopting Android for a Surface device.
