Microsoft Windows Quotes By Bruce Schneier

Solaris's C2 rating was just as silly. — Bruce Schneier

Microsoft Windows Quotes By Craig Zacker

In Windows Server 2012 R2, Server Core is the default installation option for reasons other than simply providing administrators with the ability to switch options after installing. In Windows Server 2012 R2, Microsoft is attempting to fundamentally modify the way that administrators work with their servers. Server Core is now the default installation option because in the new way of managing servers, administrators should rarely, if ever, have to work at the server console, either physically or remotely. — Craig Zacker

Microsoft Windows Quotes By Erik Naggum

They don't make poles long enough for me want to touch Microsoft products, and I don't want any mass-marketed game-playing device or Windows appliance near my desk or on my network. This is my workbench, dammit, it's not a pretty box to impress people with graphics and sounds. When I work at this system up to 12 hours a day, I'm profoundly uninterested in what user interface a novice user would prefer. — Erik Naggum

Microsoft Windows Quotes By Walter Isaacson

As it turned out, Microsoft wasn't able to get Windows 1.0 ready for shipping until the fall of 1985. Even then, it was a shoddy product. It lacked the elegance of the Macintosh interface, and it had tiled windows rather than the magical clipping of overlapping windows that Bill Atkinson had devised. Reviewers ridiculed it and consumers spurned it. Nevertheless, as is often the case with Microsoft products, persistence eventually made Windows better and then dominant. — Walter Isaacson

Microsoft Windows Quotes By Virginia Postrel

Traditional PCs face competition from specialty products like Palm Pilots and from the servers that provide the nodes in computer networks.

Microsoft Windows Quotes By Charles Wheelan

Economic development is not a zero-sum game; the world does not need poor countries in order to have rich countries, nor must some people be poor in order for others to be rich. Families who live in public housing on the South Side of Chicago are not poor because Bill Gates lives in a big house. They are poor despite the fact that Bill Gates lives in a big house. For a complex array of reasons, America's poor have not shared in the productivity gains spawned by Microsoft Windows. Bill Gates did not take their pie away; he did not stand in the way of their success or benefit from their misfortunes. — Charles Wheelan

Microsoft Windows Quotes By Satya Nadella

Windows is the best place; it's the home for the very best Microsoft experiences. — Satya Nadella

Microsoft Windows Quotes By Steven Magee

Microsoft Windows Quotes By Stewart Butterfield

At my first job in the mid-to-late '90s, almost every product was from Microsoft. Everything was designed to work together - Windows for workgroups, shared M drives, etc., etc. — Stewart Butterfield

Microsoft Windows Quotes By Charles Yang

Language is what we use to tell stories, transmit knowledge, and build social bonds. It comforts, tickles, excites, and destroys. Every society has language, and somehow we all learn a language in the first few years of our lives, a process that has been repeated for as long as humans have been around. Unlike swimming, using Microsoft Windows, or making the perfect lemon souffle - which some of us never manage to do - learning a language is a task we can all take for granted. — Charles Yang
