If you don't have a real stake in the new, then just surviving on the old - even if it is about efficiency - I don't think is a long-term game.

You look at marketing: everything that's happening in marketing is digitized. Everything that's happening in finance is digitized. So pretty much every industry, every function in every industry, has a huge element that's driven by information technology. It's no longer discrete.

What matters is 'Have you done a better job of making our experiences feel like home on Windows?' That's our real goal, and that's what we're going to stay focused on.

If you don't jump on the new, you don't survive.

I want everyone inside of Microsoft to take that responsibility. This is not about top-line growth. This is not about bottom-line growth. This is about us individually having a growth mindset.

At Microsoft, we're aspiring to have a living, learning culture with a growth mindset that allows us to learn from ourselves and our customers. These are the key attributes of the new culture at Microsoft, and I feel great about how it seems to be resonating and how it's seen as empowering.

Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly support programs at Microsoft and in the industry that bring more women into technology and close the pay gap.

You renew yourself every day. Sometimes you're successful, sometimes your not, but it's the average that counts.

Ultimately, it's not going to be about man versus machine. It is going to be about man with machines.

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.

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

We want to build intelligence that augments human abilities and experiences.

If every sector of business and society will be driven by software - how does that get enabled? By highly-paid computer scientists funded by risk capital in Silicon Valley? Or by lots of engineers who can build it themselves?

We want to be able to service our customers more, like an Internet service. Our goal is to run one of the largest Internet services that enables people to use Windows on an everyday basis.

We're not in hardware for hardware's sake. We're in hardware to be able to express all our platform and productivity software in a way that's unique.

Human language is the new UI layer, bots are like new applications, and digital assistants are meta apps. Intelligence is infused into all of your interactions.

The fundamental truth for developers is they will build if there are users.

Businesses and users are going to use technology only if they can trust it.

In our business, things look like a failure until they're not. It's pretty binary transitions.

One of the things I think a lot about, I am perhaps a great example of the enlightened immigration policy of this country where I was able to come here to study and then stay back and work and build a life.

The opportunity ahead for Microsoft is vast, but to seize it, we must focus clearly, move faster, and continue to transform.
