I think the PC will continue to be around for a long, long time to come. We see a new range of products evolving around the PC, but it's not going away.

I continue to see a healthy PC market, very healthy. The machines will continue to morph; you'll see smaller machines that have more capability.

I think Windows 8 is a catastrophe for everyone in the PC space. I think we'll lose some of the top-tier PC/OEMs, who will exit the market. I think margins will be destroyed for a bunch of people.

The console games, as they come out with this new generation, will have a temporary advantage in price performance, but there are still many things you can do on a PC, more conveniently than you can do on a console machine.

When we think about even the PC market and what is required in the student as well as in the consumer market, we want to be able to compete in the opening price point.

The future lies in designing and selling computers that people don't realize are computers at all.

When you look at this and where it's all going, the hardware business requires a lot of investment. It's very hard, it's very expensive, and ramping up hard on any given platform, whether it's a console or any kind of PC or mobile device, going into the hardware business requires a lot of investment.

Everybody's saturated with the marketing hype of next-generation consoles. They are wonderful, but the truth is that they are as powerful as a high end PC is right now.
