Not to go too far, but Microsoft is probably used by most people out there.

Microsoft has a monopoly over the desktop operating systems.

At our core, Microsoft is the productivity and platform company for the mobile-first and cloud-first world.

I think reconceptualizing Microsoft as a devices and services company is absolutely what our vision is all about. Office 365 and Azure on the services side are representative of it.

First of all, we have infrastructure as a service, which Amazon has; we have platform as a service, which Microsoft has; we have software as a service; we have applications. Nobody has everything except us. We also have data as a service.

Well, developers do want to touch a lot of customers. We have to make our platform very popular in order for them to do that. If we make their jobs easier, then they'll be more likely to stay on the Windows platform.

I don't think there is any franchise more powerful than ours around securing the consumer experience and we will not concede that to anyone including Microsoft.

To me, Microsoft is about empowerment... we are the original democratizing force, putting a PC in every home and every desk.

The Web's core vision and value is to be platform independent. Microsoft has no right to think it can win a tool that is for the people, of the people, and ultimately - by the people.

Microsoft loves Linux.
