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

微軟聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人比爾.蓋茨曾透露他使用的是安卓手機，而非Windows手機。

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

“最近，我確實改用安卓手機了，”他在接受?？怂怪苋招侣劜稍L時說道。

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W(wǎng)indows系統(tǒng)手機在智能手機市場上并未產生重大影響，智能手機市場依舊由谷歌的安卓操作系統(tǒng)為主導。

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

然而，蓋茨先生表示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."

當問及他是否使用蘋果手機時，或者將蘋果手機作為備用機時，他的回答是：“不，不，不用蘋果手機。”

He did not reveal which particular smartphone he currently uses.

但是他并未透露他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Windows手機操作系統(tǒng)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)收購諾基亞手機業(yè)務，但是2016年windows手機占全球智能手機銷量份額卻不足1%。

Microsoft’s latest operating system, Windows 10, can power smartphones in addition to laptops, tablets and desktop computers. However, few Windows 10 smartphones have been released.

微軟最新的操作系統(tǒng)Windows10除了支持筆記本電腦、平板電腦和臺式電腦外，還支持智能手機。然而，卻很少有Windows10智能手機發(fā)布。

In April, Microsoft started selling a customised version of Samsung’s Galaxy 8 smartphone in its US stores.

四月，微軟開始在其美國門店銷售三星Galaxy8智能手機定制版。

"Microsoft’s strategy under its current chief executive Satya Nadella is to make Microsoft apps and services widely available on Android and iPhone," said Ian Fogg, an analyst at the tech consultancy IHS Markit.

科技咨詢公司IHS Markit的分析師伊恩.福克表示:“目前微軟首席執(zhí)行官薩蒂亞.納德拉的戰(zhàn)略是讓微軟的應用程序和服務廣泛應用于安卓和蘋果手機上。”

"That’s where their customers are these days."

“這是他們目前的潛在客戶。”

The "Microsoft Edition" phone comes with the firm’s apps such as Office, Outlook email and its voice assistant Cortana included.

“微軟版”手機附帶了其公司的應用程序，如Office、Outlook電子郵件及其語音助手Cortana。

"It used to be putting the Windows operating system on everyone’s phone was a priority, but now it’s about selling services such as Office and Outlook email," said Mr Fogg.

"To do that, you have to make those services available on every device."

“要做到這一點，你必須在每臺設備上都提供這些服務。”
