From Navigators, 12/17/97: "It's time for Microsoft to navigate. I just had to do it. Everyone does it. Life forces change. Bill Gates is more than a competitor now. What's his vision for us? What's his vision for his company and for himself?"

Another quote, from High Roads & Big Pictures, 8/12/97: "As boys grow older and become men our view of the world changes. We learn that we are not the greatest primate in the jungle, that other people have greatness too. And if our youth was productive, we learn that we have a stake in the bigger picture. We learn to love the jungle, we want it to survive, we develop an appreciation for chaos."

More quotes on the Microsoft page.
