"If we could have one do-over I would probably say I would start sooner on search," said Ballmer. "Sometimes the error you make is what you don't do and don't see. Our mistake wasn't that we didn't see the technology change coming, we didn't see the business change coming."

Shares of Microsoft closed down 0.8 percent at $23.50 on Nasdaq.
