Bill Gates Transcripts
Remarks
by Bill Gates, CES 2001, Las Vegas, Jan. 6, 2001
Good morning. Welcome to CES. It's amazing to see the progress that's taking
place. Microsoft last year celebrated its 25th anniversary, and going back
to the very beginning of Microsoft, the dream that Paul Allen and I had was
that the microprocessor combined with software would lead to some great new
experiences. Now, those experiences were most popular in the workplace in
the last two decades, the cost of the device, the complexity of the device,
the difficulty of dealing with consumer data types, video, photos, music,
meant that the real explosion of the PC in the early days came in the workplace
dealing with text.

Bill
Gates, 2000 Microsoft Financial Analyst Meeting
Well, good morning. Microsoft was started with really three fundamental ideas.
The first was that software is going to be very important, that it was going
to determine how much we could pass on the great improvements that would
be made in tools to users, and that the software industry would exist with
a dynamic that was independent of the hardware manufacturers. It would be
a large industry. It would involve literally tens of thousands of companies
coming in with specialized solutions built on a platform.

by Bill Gates, COMDEX/Fall '99, November 15, 1999, Las Vegas, NV
Thank you. Has anybody here heard any good lawyer jokes recently? This industry
really keeps on being amazing. We've gone to new heights this year, new
breakthroughs, new companies, new products. And it's great to know that all
over America here are entrepreneurs working in their garages, also there
are lawyers working in their 20th floor offices, both groups working to do
what they do best.

Scalability
Day, Remarks by Deborah Willingham, Tuesday, May 20, 1997, New York,
NY
MS. WILLINGHAM: Well, good morning. I'm going to start right out with a
demonstration for you. You know, Microsoft enterprise customers really expect
their mission critical applications to be available 24 hours a day and seven
days a week and so that's why Microsoft is building in the automated clustering
capability into Windows NT server Enterprise Edition. This clustering capability
allows customers to connect to servers so that either server can share the
work load or take over the workload of the other server. That's what this
feature really does for them.

Bill
Gates, 1998 Microsoft Financial Analyst Meeting
The following are highlighted excerpts from Bill's presentation. Good afternoon.
It's exciting to be here and to have a chance to focus on what I'm going
to spend most of my time on now, which is the breakthrough product innovations
that will really drive our future.Before I get into that, though, I thought
I'd deal with a concern a lot of people have shared with me, which is, you
know, asking, how do Steve and I work together? And in fact I can give you
some pretty clear evidence that we work very well together. We got away from
campus a few months ago, and were working out some of the key issues. And
we took some video of that. So, I'd like to show that real quickly, and you'll
understand how we work.
