Bill Gates on the future, the past and the brilliance of fertilizer…
Comment Like the Windows group had a meeting, and the Surface group had a meeting, but this is more just sitting down with the top executives, so Stephen Elop, Craig Mundie, Kevin Turner. It was ourselves, Ashton Tate, WordPerfect, and, I guess, Lotus. [26 Jun 2008]

The Naked CIO: Price of panic
