Microsoft founder and richest man in the world, Bill Gates, now using Android smartphone. The choice was based on several considerations.
First, Microsoft is no longer the focus of developing a mobile operating system since a while ago. The Nokia brand acquired in 2013 has also been released and is now HMD Global's.
Microsoft can be spelled back to its core business, creating software for desktops, along with computing infrastructure, productivity applications, and artificial intelligence (AI).
Nevertheless, Bill Gates underlines himself mostly using Microsoft applications on Android phones that are not mentioned type. The applications in question include Microsoft Word, Skype, Teams, and Outlook.
Currently it is a commonly used mobile operating system audiences are Android and Google's creation of Apple's IOS. The next question, why Bill Gates did not switch to iOS?
"I am actually switching to Android by sticking with Microsoft software. But no, not the iPhone, "Bill Gates asserted in an interview on Fox News.
Bill Gates indicated his admiration for the operating system developed by Google. In business, Microsoft and Google often compete in terms of productivity software development.
However, Microsoft's principles actually more inclined to Android than IOS. Users can modify the operating system, it is more open and allows collaboration with other companies.
Since Microsoft switch to selling services rather than products, it makes sense they'd prefer Google which also has a similar philosophy. Apple's existence is to sell their own products, whereas Google generates a large amount of revenue from selling adverts.
