Was shutting down Windows phone a mistake made by Microsoft? Satya Nadella spills the beans

In an interview given to Business Insider this week, Nadella accepted that giving up on Windows Phone and mobile was a mistake. “The decision I think a lot of people talk about -- and one of the most difficult decisions I made when I became CEO -- was our exit of what I’ll call the mobile phone as defined then,” he was quoted as saying in the report. “In retrospect, I think there could have been ways we could have made it work by perhaps reinventing the category of computing between PCs, tablets, and phones,” Nadella added.
