Ibhiliyoni kunye owayesakuba nguMicrosoft, uBill Gates, maxa wambi uthetha izinto ezibangela umdla. Enye yamva nje ibe sisigqibo malunga neMicrosoft Windows Mobile engakhange ishiye nabani na kwaye ndiyakholelwa ukuba ayilunganga, nokuba izama kangakanani ukukhusela inkampani yayo kunye nokugubungela ukusilela okukhulu kweWindows Mobile. Ndiyakholelwa ngokunyanisekileyo ukuba iMicrosoft iphumelele kwiinkalo ezininzi, kodwa akunjalo ngenkqubo yayo yokusebenza yezixhobo eziphathwayo.
Ngexesha elidlulileyo, i-United States Justice yayigxeka inkampani ngenxa yezenzo ze-monopolistic. Ityala lokungathembeki ngokuqinisekileyo libe nefuthe kuMicrosoft, nangona ndingaqinisekanga ukuba lalilikhulu kangako, kwaye ukuba kunjalo, ndicinga ukuba alinanto yakwenza noBill Gates. Ewe, kutheni ndiyithetha yonke le nto?
Ewe, kuba uBill Gates uye waphawula kwimithombo yeendaba yaseBritane The New York Times ukuba «Alithandabuzeki elokuba ityala lokungathembeki lalingalunganga kuMicrosoft kwaye besiya kugxila ngakumbi ekudaleni inkqubo yokusebenza yeselula. Endaweni yokusebenzisa i-Android, ubuya kusebenzisa iWindows Mobile ukuba ibingeyonto 'ye-antitrust case'. […] Sasisondelelene kakhulu. Ngoku akukho mntu uvileyo ngeWindows Mobile. Kodwa heyi, ngamakhulu ambalwa eebhiliyoni apha naphaya. (kwixabiso lenkqubo). Kulungile… ummm, ndiyacinga, ngayo yonke intlonipho efanelekileyo, oku akunjalo.
I-tycoon ayicingi ukuba yimpazamo yee-apps, okanye indlela iteknoloji yeselula evele ngayo, okanye nantoni na enjalo, kodwa kunokuba kunjalo le nkundla. Kwaye njengoko etshilo, ucinga ukuba ukuba bekungenzekanga ngoku, eyona nkqubo isetyenziswayo iya kuba yiWindows Mobile. Kodwa andiqondi ukuba inkqubo esekwe kwiWindows NT iya kuba yeyona ilungileyo kumaqonga eefowuni kwaye inokuba njalo ukumelana ne-iOS kunye ne-AndroidNdinokuthandabuza okunzulu, ngokunyanisekileyo. Ndibe nethuba lokuphonononga iSony Nangona...heyi! Kwenzeke izinto ezingaqhelekanga. Ngokuqinisekileyo bayazi indlela yokwenza iWindows iqonga eliphambili ledesktop. Mhlawumbi babeneqhinga elithile lokufumana icandelo eliphathwayo.
