People like you are supposed to expose this stuff, ... People like us are just trying to help. I never knew that we were doing any of this stuff, but if Microsoft is creating front organizations, I feel very good about bringing that information to the public.
Microsoft is already the most powerful company on earth, but you ain't seen nothing yet,
Microsoft is welcome to come investigate us and so are you guys,
Microsoft isn't good at security. We're good at that and I don't think sending a memo is going to help,
We think of Microsoft as our major competitor in the database business, not IBM,
We think Microsoft is a very serious competitor going forward in the applications business. It's not simply going to be Oracle versus SAP.
I don't think Oracle and IBM want another Microsoft in Red Hat.
What Microsoft is doing is patently illegal. Think about it. If you want to build computers, you've got to ask Bill's permission, ... If Bill wanted to triple the price on Windows, what would you do? You'd pay; you wouldn't have any choice.

We have no large acquisitions in mind right now.
