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 think that everyone in Seattle, their daily existence, is enriched by all the charitable giving that is courtesy of Microsoft.

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.

Well we have a good working relationship with Microsoft at the development level. But let's not kid ourselves, this is a company with enormous resources and talented people, and there is a certain pride that comes along with that for them and for us.

I do believe that at Microsoft in general good work is rewarded, and I have seen it many times here.

I have spoken to a whole group of millionaires, head executives at Microsoft. Boy did I chew those guys out.

My career at Microsoft really was getting in the way of my cooking.

When I was in my 40s, Microsoft was my primary activity.

God has blessed me with a wonderful family, a successful business, and outstanding employees. I do not take these blessings lightly.

I've been so incredibly blessed. I've worked with some of the greatest professionals in town. I stood at the Golden Globes.
