In technology, being late can be as disastrous as being wrong.


Microsoft hasn’t just lost market share since the iPhone inaugurated the modern smartphone era, it has seen its position implode, falling to 5 percent in the second quarter from 22 percent in 2004.

... within five years, more users will connect to the Internet on mobile devices than the desktop computers that Microsoft has dominated for decades. Unless the company can establish a beachhead in mobile, it’s facing a long slow slide into irrelevance.
