One of the key things in the tech business in particular is that you need to be able to push boundaries.

Our mission of empowering every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more is really a look back to the very creation of Microsoft.

A lot of people are joking about the Windows 10 error message that says 'Something Happened'. Well, that's not on me. My original idea was to not have any errors at all, and for the operating system to be called Windows RT ME One.

If you are going to have a risk-taking culture, you can't really look at every failure as a failure, you've got to be able to look at the failure as a learning opportunity.

Every time you think all the technology that had been created already, all you have to do is look around and then there's someone new who's born with a new idea.

The way I measure my life is 'Am I better than I was last year?'

What was true then and what is true now is that we create technology so others can create more technology.
