I didn't say the acquisition was too late, I said Microsoft pivoted too slowly in mobile.

Oh, that is a fair point. If they'd have bought Nokia before they both became turkeys it might have ended differently. But at that point, Nokia probably wasn't for sale and the "two turkeys" analogy wouldn't have applied either, tbh.

MS had a solid OS with Windows Phone 7 years before Android had anything resembling a good user experience.

Waiting years between updates with no news pushes away OEMs and ensures consumers forget you even exist.
