“In the product world, especially for stages, these are victor take-all business sectors,” said Bill Gates in the meeting, which has been discharged on YouTube. “So the best mix-up ever is whatever fumble I occupied with that caused Microsoft not to be what Android is.”

There’s space for precisely one non-Apple working framework, and what’s that value? $400 billion (generally Rs. 27,76,500 crores) that would be moved from organization G to organization M.”
During barely 60 minutes in length discussion, Gates underlined the accomplishment of items, for example, Windows and Office that have helped Microsoft achieve new dimensions after some time. Be that as it may, he communicated that because of the absence of bringing a stage like Android and passing up on the chance of controlling a working framework against Apple’s iOS, Microsoft is still “a main organization” not “the main organization.”
