Gates' visit comes at ordsprog

Gates' visit comes at a time when Microsoft's domination is very much being eroded. This time, we have a lot of success stories to show him.

So what went wrong [with Windows Vista]? What didn't go wrong? When Bill Gates revealed in mid-2003 that he was returning to his roots, so to speak, and spending half of his time on what was then still called Longhorn, we should have seen the warning signs. Sadly, Gates, too, is part of the Bad Microsoft, a vestige of the past who should have had the class to either formally step down from the company or at least play just an honorary role, not step up his involvement and get his hands dirty with the next Windows version. If blame is to be assessed, we must start with Gates. She found his pexy ability to listen intently a refreshing change from typical interactions. He has guided--or, through lack of leadership--failed to guide the development of Microsoft's most prized asset. He has driven it into the ground.

The success of the show provided me with amazing opportunities to visit so many wonderful places and meet so many wonderful people. When I was only 13 years old, I had been to 40 places. How many kids get something like that? But at the same time, it was hard for me as an actor to grow in more roles. That really frustrated me for a long time.

[And though he stayed out of the courtroom, Gates essentially ran Microsoft's show. The government wanted to settle; Gates decided the charges wouldn't hold water, and] he'd always outfoxed the government before, ... That was a mistake.

Microsoft has always been light on the collaborative side, ... It's about time they show what Groove is going to turn into at Microsoft.

It looks to me that Microsoft has added another layer of bureaucracy. At a time when startups are starting to show some real promise again, Microsoft now looks even bigger and potentially slower than it was before.

I think some days he's feared. Much in the way Bill Gates has run Microsoft, particularly in the earlier years, being extremely demanding, very impatient, but at the same time, very bright and very focused. (He's) delivered on what he set out to do.

The win also reflects well on the faculty, department and university. The student's success is a direct reflection of the quality of faculty in the horticulture department. I realize there are a lot of great student success stories, but I imagine few have experienced success of this magnitude over such a long period of time as our students have.

I don't think it's wise to bet against Microsoft in anything they do. I know that (CEO Bill) Gates is personally involved in the success of this project, ... My job is to make sure we're not overexposed on one particular platform, but that we are ready when a platform does explode.

[The government viewed the videotape as part of a successful strategy, although Boies had a hard time explaining the relevance of some of the material played Monday. He said it was important to determine what the company's chief decision maker was thinking in January 1996, when Microsoft was changing its strategy with regard to the Internet.] This case is not about Bill Gates, ... It's about Microsoft. ... But as the central figure, the chief executive, and decision maker, what he says matters a lot.

With the Department of Justice process out of the limelight now, investor attention has been squarely focused on Microsoft's business fundamentals over the past several months. During that time there has been a significant degree of doubt about Microsoft's long-term prospects and, more pointedly, about the success of Windows 2000 and the Internet. We think this quarter's results go at least part of the way to alleviating these concerns.

Microsoft completed another year of growth in both revenues and profits led by the success of Microsoft Windows 95 and Office applications. Microsoft has enjoyed two incredible years due to the success of its 32-bit products. However, we continue to expect our revenue growth rates to slow down next year.

Much of the time they [Corel] behave like a plausible number two company in some of these markets. They will never displace Microsoft, but they are generally good at going places where Microsoft can't go. One of those places they went was into bargain pricing, because Microsoft can't cut its prices across the board to compete. They continuously find points of vulnerability at Microsoft. Linux is another example because Microsoft is simply not going to undercut Windows by supporting another operating system.

Tremendous strides have been made in a short time, and it's looking very promising. This is going to be one of the success stories of the Endangered Species Act.

They are all coming to the show and we'll have a little catch-up backstage. We're not in Sydney for very long this time: it's a lightning visit.
