The opportunity to engage people who are very far away from each other and yet might have interesting information is better here than has ever been possible.
I'd be as bold as to say that over the next three years the majority of companies will decide that having streaming media for the information they share internally and externally will be of critical importance,
We need to make it easier for people to visualize information that comes from different directions,
The ability to really withhold information no longer exists.
I expect over the next five years between us and others a heck of a job will get done. You'll be able to sit at your desk and do whatever it is you want to do with information or presenting data or interchanging data incredibly effectively. In other words, we will have changed the way people work.
If the 1980s were about quality and the 1990s were about re-engineering, then the 2000s will be about velocity. About how quickly business itself will be transacted. About how information access will alter the lifestyle of consumers and their expectations of business . . . The successful companies of the next decade will be the ones that use digital tools to reinvent the way they work.
Having great software that lets your people see digital information, lets them collaborate, lets you build a great Web site, that's going to be very, very important for all companies going forward, ... And Windows 2000 is the key platform where that starts.

How you gather, manage and use information will determine whether you win or lose.
Being flooded with information doesn't mean we have the right information or that we're in touch with the right people.
Access to the outside world is preventing more censorship. I do think information flow is happening in China. .. There's no doubt in my mind that it's been a huge plus.
A bad strategy will fail no matter how good your information is and lame execution will stymie a good strategy. If you do enough things poorly, you will go out of business.
Information work is thinking work.
Antitrust is the way that the government promotes markets when there are market failures. It has nothing to do with the idea of free information.
