Most of my ideas belonged to other people who never bothered to develop them.

At Microsoft there are lots of brilliant ideas but the image is that they all come from the top - I'm afraid that's not quite right.

To turn really interesting ideas and fledgling technologies into a company that can continue to innovate for years, it requires a lot of disciplines.

I get my ideas from listening from within.

Absorb ideas from every source.

My principal business is giving commercial value to the brilliant - but misdirected - ideas of others.
