We've had some tough times, but we've hung in there.

Even before I helped to co-found Microsoft, I saw a connected future . . . I called that future The Wired World.

In global warming, I think everyone is scratching their heads - are there technological things that can be brought to bear that can make a difference?

The only regrets I have are rather prosaic - like I wish I went for a swim in the Pacific.

In the first eight or so years at Microsoft, we were always chained to our terminals, and after I got sick the first time, I decided that I was going to be more adventurous and explore more of the world.

The possible is constantly being redefined, and I care deeply about helping humanity move forward.
