I marvel every day at how people can excel - and that’s what really gets me going.

Our industry does not respect tradition - it only respects innovation.

Our ambitions are bold and so must be our desire to change and evolve our culture.

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.

Our first-party devices will light up digital work and life. Surface Pro 3 is a great example -- it is the world's best productivity tablet. In addition, we will build first-party hardware to stimulate more demand for the entire Windows ecosystem. That means at times we'll develop new categories like we did with Surface. It also means we will responsibly make the market for Windows Phone, which is our goal with the Nokia devices and services acquisition.

Microsoft is the productivity and platform company for the mobile-first and cloud-first world.

Many companies aspire to change the world. But very few have all the elements required: talent, resources and perseverance. Microsoft has proven that it has all three in abundance.
