Missed opportunities. That’s what they call it. Microsoft has been playing catch-up and follow-the-leader ever since Ballmer took the reins from founder and former CEO Bill Gates.

August 14, 2013Hold This, Please I like Android smartphones, but I also like the toys that come with them. I frequently buy the docking station and the car mount whenever I get a new phone.
