In A Sense Technology Is A Tool

The Company [microsoft] Really Has To Chart A Direction In Mobile Devices. Because If You're Going To Be Mobile-first, Cloud-first You Really Do Need To Have A Sense Of What You're Doing In Mobile Devices. I Had Put The Company On A Path. The Board As I Was Leaving Took The Company On A Path By Buying Nokia, They Kind Of Went Ahead With That After I Told Them I Was Going To Go. The Company, Between Me And The Board, Had Taken That Sort Of View. Satya, He's Certainly Changed That. He Needs To Have A Clear Path Forward. But I'm Sure He'll Get There.

I Think There Are Lots Of Opportunities To Improve The Product. When You Read The Press, People Say, "oh, The Product Needs Improvement." I Look At That And Say, "hey, That's An Exciting Thing To Get Behind!" Because They Can Improve That Product. That Leaves More Upside From An Innovation And Revenue Potential Than You're Gonna Find In A Lot Of Places. So You Could Say That's A Downside, I See That As An Opportunity.

I'd Rather Use Windows And Internet Explorer In Hell Than I'd Use Linux And Mozilla Firefox In Heaven!

Not Only Because The Product Wasn't A Great Product, But Remember It Took Us Five Or Six Years To Ship It. Then We Had To Sort Of Fix It. That Was What I Might Call Windows 7.

I'm Going To F---ing Bury That Guy, I Have Done It Before, And I Will Do It Again. I'm Going To F---ing Kill Google.
