Quotes

• “When we tell the story about what's happening today with browsers ten years from now, I want the thing that replaces Windows to be Windows. I don't want to wake up in a position one day where the guys at Netscape say, "Isn't Windows just that little thing that we use to put up menus and draw lines? Let's just write our own and suck it up into our client."”
• “I think it would be absolutely reckless and irresponsible for anyone to try and break up Microsoft.”
• “Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Come on! Get up, get up! Come on! Come on, give it up for me! Whoo! Whoo! Come on! Who said 'sit down'? I have four words for you. I. Love. This. Company. Yes!”
• “We've had DRM in Windows for years. The most common format of music on an iPod is "stolen".”
• “Most people still steal music.”
• “I've got my kids brainwashed: You don't use Google, and you don't use an iPod.”
