We want to let you use a Mac, or Windows PC, or iPad, or Android, without having to think about any of the technical details.

Any version of Windows is going to have lots of great new things that people use and things that are tough.

I have developed a Zen-like approach to the operating systems that people use: 'When you're ready, the right operating system will appear in your life.'

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.

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.

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

Windows 8 is key to the future, the Surface computer.

I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see it, the more it looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don't find anything technically interesting there.

I don't try to be a threat to MicroSoft, mainly because I don't really see MS as competition. Especially not Windows-the goals of Linux and Windows are simply so different.
