 "Microsoft's R&D budget ... is focused on making 'Longhorn' real, and all the milestones that get us to that point." |
 "And so unless we show that with software we can reduce those problems, make them not be significant problems, we won't be able to drive forward. So in a sense you can think of those as headwinds." |
 "So breaking down the boundaries ... between different devices... and meeting these high expectations on the fundamentals, will drive us forward." |
 "I mentioned security as a very key element ... and the theme that Microsoft is using to show how this is a critical area for our entire industry is Trustworthy Computing." |
 "Steve Ballmer [recently] laid out a roadmap that talked about the things we're doing even in the very short run to change security vulnerabilities." |
 "And then on the server ... we'll beta that in the first half of next year." |
 "Hardware innovation is one of the positive factors that drive us towards the new wave." |
 "Activities like listening to music, organizing your photos, annotating those, sharing them, buying products, all of these things will be dramatically driven by software in a way that they were not at the start of the decade." |
 "So it's [all] going to come together in 'Longhorn.' This is our next major [Windows] release ... We're at the beginning of this process. We're opening it up to you, showing you what we're thinking, because we need your involvement to get this right." |
 "We have three different waves of software over the years ahead. We have the software that's out now ... You'll hear a lot about the wave that includes the next generation of SQL Server and Visual Studio, and then, of course, most of what this event is about is 'Longhorn.'" |
