Key Quotefrom Ballmer:
"Information is the lifeblood of business," Ballmer countered,
"and software is what gives people and businesses the ability to
harness it. Software is what enables us to collect, manipulate,
access, store, share, analyze and act on information. It enables
companies to constantly hone their competitive edge. So, contrary
to the idea that we're entering a 'post-technological era,' I
believe that taking software to the next level will be one of the
biggest sources of value creation for customers, and that Microsoft
is well-positioned to enable this and to benefit from it."
