Speaking at what will be his final investors' conference on Thursday Ballmer said Microsoft was too focused on Windows at a time when mobile was the bigger trend.

“If there's one thing I guess you would say I regret, I regret that there was a period in the early 2000s when we were so focused on what we had to do around Windows, that we weren't able to redeploy talent to the new device form factor called the phone,” he said at the meeting.
