If Alibaba cannot become a Microsoft or Wal-Mart, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are going to be some people who never want Wal-Mart. That's OK.
The easier question might be, 'What isn't Alibaba?' The company is only 15 years old, but it has gotten so big over that timeframe that it basically touches every single part of the Chinese economy. I think the simplest comparison to draw is that it is like eBay and Amazon combined.
Alibaba is an ecosystem that helps small business to grow.
Almost no one wants to admit the genius of Jeff Bezos and Amazon. Apparently, many have failed to see that Amazon has become the world's biggest retail company.
Microsoft is one of those rare companies to have truly revolutionized the world through technology, and I couldn't be more honored to have been chosen to lead the company.
I worked for Microsoft until 1996, till I had a different angle to view life. I wanted to be an entrepreneur and control my own destiny.
You can't compete with Walmart. But you can have smaller businesses that are successful.
I'm going to retain a lot of Microsoft's stock.
A future at Wal-Mart may sound a less-than-stellar prospect, but it's a whole lot better than no future at all.
I'm never fully satisfied with any Microsoft product.
