— On Google: The market leader has momentum, no question. Search is the most stagnant area in terms of user interface, and there’s a lot of work to do. We’re doing that. We will continue to invest to break through in the category.
— Advertising, and buying aQuantive: Media and entertainment will be the most industries because of technology. Most of these experiences wold be ad funded. We’re number 3 players in the online ad market and we’re working very very hard with commitment and enthusiasm. At this point, a disproportionate amount of value sites in the ad platform, rather than users and publishers. We will try to shift the model in interesting ways.
— Zune: We’re committed to it…we have a lineup Christmas which will be more exciting.
— Cellphone: We will not make a cellphone…it doesn’t make a lot of sense.
