Microsoft's failure in mobile was more of a business decision failure than a technology failure, to my understanding. Despite having products ready to launch, both Gates and Ballmer doubled down on the traditional Windows model.

There are some other good articles I remember reading about Pioneer Studios that I am unable to find right now. I think Microsoft could have absolutely dominated the mobile space, but they really sat on their laurels for far too long. I think they had the talent and ability to handle the technology development. They just didn't want to because of Gates and Ballmer.
