Perhaps most importantly, we will be tenacious and persistent in driving our Live initiative with all the technology and business model implications it has.
At the same time, we need to be relentless in improving our agility as a company, while maintaining our high quality and impact. That means ensuring our products come to market on a timely basis, decisions we make are clear, and our time and energy are focused on customers and creating new software.
Today, we face a world of change. We may well add another billion customers in the next decade, customers who will be connected by the Internet and using ever-faster and more powerful hardware. This means that the opportunity we have to serve the world and have an impact with great software has never been greater.
I believe we have an amazing opportunity before us. I think we have the team, the strategy, the pipeline and the will to keep on winning over new customers in a changing world. And it will remain my mission as CEO to drive that process.
Today we announce Bill's transition in two years. But we're really also announcing the transition we are making as a company to get to the next level of success and meet the new and expanding set of needs of a world hungry for technology.
Bill may reduce his time here but his imprint on the company will never diminish. It will continue to be reflected in everything we do. We will continue his tradition of thinking big and executing even bigger. Of relentlessly facing challenges until we overcome them; of hiring the best and the brightest and letting them do their best work; and of setting the standard of great software that really does improve people's lives. That has been his passion, and mine, the passion of our new technical leaders and of this whole company. It is really why I think we will keep on succeeding.
Thank you all for your time today. Bill and I will be happy to take your questions.
LARRY COHEN: We're going to open up for questions. We're going to start with some questions from those in the room here. For those of you on the call-in bridge, the operator will give you instructions for how to submit your smoking questions. We'll take questions off the bridge.
With that, I'll open for any questions.
QUESTION: Are you guys saying you would take (inaudible)
STEVE BALLMER: I certainly said I'd be around. I keep saying that, though, the clock restarts every time I say it. This is a good place for me to express my energy, my passion, my enthusiasm. Bill has to comment, my memory is not that good either, but Bill's got a lot of that passion and energy.
BILL GATES: I don't remember ever making a prediction about a particular timeframe. I will say that the Foundation, and the type of the opportunity there, and the neat things that have gone on, that was somewhat of a surprise to me, but I don't think I ever made a statement that would particularly say what my career plan looked like.
QUESTION: (Inaudible) in the chairman role, and also whether when you brought Ray Ozzie on board whether this was something that you already were thinking about.
