I'm interested in Linux because of the technology, and Linux wasn't started as any kind of rebellion against the 'evil Microsoft empire.'

I appreciate all the devices the Windows people are coming up with, but the operating system... I just want to smash it.

Traditional PCs face competition from specialty products like Palm Pilots and from the servers that provide the nodes in computer networks. Microsoft's Windows CE hasn't done too well in the specialty-device market, and its Windows NT faces strong competition for server customers.

Windows 95 had its 20th anniversary last year, so we got our hands on an old system and showed it to teenagers who were not even alive in 1995. The results were pretty great and also makes you feel quite old.

I think operating systems work best if they're free and open. Particular applications are more likely to be proprietary.

When we think about Windows, we want to think of it as a broad platform, from wearables to industrial IoT platforms to PCs and tablets.

Windows is the best place; it's the home for the very best Microsoft experiences.

I use Windows; '98 second edition and it works very good for me. You know, I just started on the computer about 9 months ago and am fascinated with the possibilities. I don't know what I would do without it now.
