Anytime you put a challenge out there, people come up with a creative solution on the software side.

At Microsoft, the magic of software is used to take on very interesting challenges.

Software development is technical activity conducted by human beings.

Writing software that's safe even in the presence of bugs makes the challenge even more interesting.

Challenges are meant to be met and overcome.

Achieve success in any area of life by identifying the optimum strategies and repeating them until they become habits.

Creating something is all about problem-solving.

Whatever way that we have in our head that we expect people to use a software, they'll find other interesting ways to use it that we didn't expect.

Creating problems is easy. We do it all the time. Finding solutions, ones that last and produce good results, requires guts and care.

The critical thing in developing software is not the program, it's the design. It is translating understanding of user needs into something that can be realized as a computer program.
