比爾蓋茨改用安卓手機 拒絕使用iPhone

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has revealed he uses an Android-powered smartphone, rather than a Windows one.

微軟聯合創始人比爾·蓋茨日前透露，他現在使用的是一臺安卓手機，而非Windows手機。

"Recently, I actually did switch to an Android phone," he said, speaking on Fox News Sunday.

他在接受《福克斯週日新聞》採訪時表示：“最近，我確實改用安卓手機了。”

Microsoft's own Windows-powered phones have failed to make a significant impact on the smartphone market, which is dominated by devices running Google's Android operating system.

微軟公司的Windows系統手機在智能手機市場上並未產生重大影響，該市場目前依舊由谷歌的安卓操作系統爲主導。

However, Mr Gates said he had installed lots of Microsoft apps on his phone.

不過，蓋茨稱他的手機上安裝了很多微軟的應用程序。

When asked whether he also had an iPhone, perhaps as a secondary device, he replied: "No, no iPhone."

當被問及是否使用蘋果手機、或者將蘋果手機作爲備用機時，他的回答是：“不，不，不用蘋果手機。”

He did not reveal which particular smartphone he currently uses.

此外，他並未透露自己最近使用的是哪款智能手機。

Microsoft struggled to make a success of its own mobile operating system, Windows Phone.

微軟一直努力在其手機操作系統Windows Phone上取得成功。

In 2014, the software giant paid $7.2bn (5.5bn pounds) for Nokia's handset business, but Windows-powered phones accounted for fewer than 1% of global smartphone sales in 2016.

2014年，這家軟件巨頭公司支付72億美元（約55億英鎊）收購了諾基亞的手機業務，但是2016年Windows系統手機的銷售量只佔全球智能手機的不到1%。
