I felt there was a need for us to build a new programming language. I also had come to see that Microsoft functions best when it controls its own destiny.

Google is already overflowing with incredibly creative bright groups already working on lots of the software problems of the world.

The way to be successful in the software world is to come up with breakthrough software, and so whether it's Microsoft Office or Windows, its pushing that forward. New ideas, surprising the marketplace, so good engineering and good business are one in the same.

We try to continually push ourselves to do more and more, not just on the hardware side but also in terms of developers' tools so they can take advantage of the hardware that's there, in the best way.

Since its inception, HCL's core focus area has been technology and product development, and hence, we continued to remain in the high end of technology throughout the '90s.

Although the most advanced software innovation may take place in big cities with research universities, there is a lot of work concerning the application of software to business processes and the administration and maintenance of software systems that can be done remotely.

[We in Microsoft] are not the only software company but we are a great software company doing some unique work.

Developers, developers, developers, developers.

The engineering, analytics, design, testing, and delivery behind our products offer some of the hardest engineering and business challenges in the world.

They are, in short, a perfect match.

Press releases are easier to write than code, and that is still easier than making a great product.

While control is needed, and perfectly warranted, our bias should be clear up front: Monopolies are not justified by theory; they should be permitted only when justified by facts. If there is no solid basis for extending a certain monopoly protection, then we should not extend that protection.
