The World Is Changing, But So Is

In General, I'm Pretty Busy With The Other Things I Charted ... I Bought A Piece Of A Sports-tech Company. We Do A Lot Of Work With At The Clippers. I Think That'll Be Great. We're Really Looking At The Possibility Of Extending And Building A Real Over-the-top Distribution Channel With Value-added Services For The Clippers, That Could Lead To Other Partnerships And Investments. But Most Of The Stuff I'm Looking At Isn't Because I Say, "hey, I Want To Invest." It Sort Of Comes Around From The Work We're Doing With The Clippers.

The One Thing That I Think Separates Microsoft From A Lot Of Other People Is We Make Bold Bets. We're Persistent About Them, But We Make Them. A Lot Of People Won't Make A Bold Bet. A Bold Bet Doesn't Assure You Of Winning, But If You Make No Bold Bets You Can't Continue To Succeed. Our Industry Doesn't Allow You To Rest On Your Laurels Forever. I Mean, You Can Milk Any Great Idea. Any Idea That Turns Out To Be Truly Great Can Be Harvested For Tens Of Years. On The Other Hand, If You Want To Continue To Be Great, You've Got To Bet On New Things, Big, Bold Bets.

I've Found Three Or Four Things That Are Quite Interesting To Me That I'm Focused On. That's Been Fun.the Clippers Is Obviously One Of Them.

Developers, Developers, Developers, Developers.

From A Client Perspective, I Really Think The Work Microsoft's Doing With Surface, With Hololens, With Xbox, That Stuff's Absolutely Essential To The Company's Future. Because Innovation In The Future Will Either Be From The Cloud Out To All Devices, Or From Devices As Supported By Software In The Cloud. I Think It's Important For Microsoft To Participate Both Ways.
