Only a monopolist could study a business and ruin it by giving away products.

We have an opportunity to improve productivity and cut costs while growing our way to a better and a more comfortable operating environment. I don’t think anyone feels comfortable about bumping around where we are today.

Who cares who’s captain after the wings have fallen off.

Every time you turn on your new car, you’re turning on 20 microprocessors. Every time you use an ATM, you’re using a computer. Every time I use a settop box or game machine, I’m using a computer. The only computer you don’t know how to work is your Microsoft computer, right?

The only thing I’d rather own than Windows is English. Then I’d be able to charge you an upgrade fee every time I add new letters like N and T.

I can’t figure the stock market out. I think it’s wacky. I have done well with a long-term strategy and will continue being a long-term investor.

The utility model of computing – computing resources delivered over the network in much the same way that electricity or telephone service reaches our homes and offices today – makes more sense than ever.

Computers shouldn’t be unusable. You don’t need to know how to work a telephone switch to make a phone call, or how to use the Hoover Dam to take a shower, or how to work a nuclear-power plant to turn on the lights.

If everyone thinks you’re doing the right thing, then everyone would be doing it. Have a controversial strategy.
