Probably the most regretable decisions they made

cuz look at them now

apple overtook them by miles

Nop, cuz at that time Microsoft were hated and were accused of having a monopoly over the tech industry. So, with that investment, it cleared Microsoft/Bill Gates name and removed the stigma it could have had.

[spice light]

even if they saved apple, microsoft's got the xbox gaming consoles to dominate the home console market

against sony's playstations

and office software

[amber heath]

But Apple dominates phone market

phone market > Console market

[spice light]

and microsoft's never even had a phone for the past few years

last time microsoft's got a phone, they got the Nokia Lumia

iPhones suck but they make a lot of money
