But you've spelled out in an article various areas where Microsoft is just not playing in the same game -- nobody else festival mobility mobile's computer -- go how badly -- all the.
Right so like yeah I don't know if you wanted to continue to hold that deposition net.
All but in terms of of mobility -- -- high mobility is a category that now contained Smartphones and tablets.
And is ideally any device that you can carry around with you all day long and not ever have -- plug in and it's a full computer.
So in that category Microsoft has done quite badly Windows Phone indeed as its new operating system for phones.

If he should resign.
He's been -- a decade to start -- sideways as you well know.
And they have had.
A lot of departures of key top executives under him -- basically almost no one left from the original team.
He's not been an inspiring leader as far as I can tell and if you look at the composition of the board.
There's no one but Bill Gates who's the chairman who could actually step in and say Steve I think it's time for us to bring somebody else and I hope that he does that.
Okay Roger when we started this in the view Microsoft was just above 27 dollars and -- that.
