Microsoft didn't just miss the boat (Score 0)

Microsoft bought Danger in 2008 for $500 Million. Two years later the wrote off $750 Million, with warehouses full of their BS "Sidekick" phones.
Then they bought Nokia, and did it all over again, but BIGGER! (Paid over 7 Billion, write off 7.6 Billion shortly thereafter..)

Microsoft didn't miss the boat, they EPICALLY FAILED.
