"There's no CEO for the government." But if you were CEO for a day at the government, would you have tools and reports and wherewithal to look at government the way a business would look at its lines of business, its spending, its revenue? I've actually been working, first by myself and then with a group of people, on then on and off, and now much more on, almost since the I time left Microsoft.

The world is changing, but so is Microsoft.

All companies of any size have to continue to push to make sure you get the right leaders, the right team, the right people to be fast acting, and fast moving in the marketplace. We've got great leaders, and we continue to attract and promote great new leaders.

I think it would be absolutely reckless and irresponsible for anyone to try and break up Microsoft.

So, I think the output of our innovation is great. We have a culture of self-improvement. I know we can continue to improve. There is no issue. But at the same time, our absolute level of output is fantastic.

I would love to see all open-source innovation happen on top of Windows.

I have lots of sources of information about what's going on at the company. I think I have a pretty good pulse on where we are and what people are thinking.
