I'm an investor in a number of biotech companies, partly because of my incredible enthusiasm for the great innovations they will bring.

I am saddened, not by Microsoft's success - I have no problem with their success. They've earned their success, for the most part. I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products.

My passion has been to build an enduring company where people were motivated to make great products. Everything else was secondary. Sure, it was great to make a profit, because that was what allowed you to make great products. But the products, not the profits were the motivation.

Every good product I've ever seen is because a group of people cared deeply about making something wonderful that they and their friends wanted. They wanted to use it themselves.

We hire people who want to make the best things in the world.

If you keep your eye on the profit, you're going to skimp on the product. But if you focus on making really great products, then the profits will follow.
