And so most of the things Microsoft does are like the work we did in Tablet or real time communication or productivity or collaboration where we get out there in front, we get out there first, we put our long term approach on that, and build on that.
That's not to say there aren't always a couple things where somebody else does something well, we need to see that and learn from it, but most of what we're doing is stepping back and just thinking about software, where can it go, and whether it's reading or memories about your life, organizing those, or education, the kinds of things software can do, we're just at the beginning.
Communications is one we'll have an event here in the next couple weeks where we talk about the breakthrough things we're going to do there, and a lot of that you'll hear is stuff that just no one else is doing.
STEVE BALLMER: I'd probably add just three things. Number one, as I said earlier, our Live initiative is very, very important to us. It's a transformative thing going from software to software and service. And it's important both in terms of the way we serve our customers in absolute, and it will be important to our success in the marketplace. That would be number one.
Number two, we've been on a -- let me call it multi-device strategy for a number of years now. When Bill was recruiting me to first come to Microsoft, it was a computer on every desk and in every home, and I think that got invented to get me excited about being here. And we transitioned that, because servers, TV, Xbox and phones, those are all important areas in which people are going to connect and communicate in this Internet world. We've got some good traction in a number of those areas, and frankly nicely growing traction, but I think that's a second important observation.
The third thing is we really -- and this is a project that David Vaskevitch has been leading, but Ray and Bill are also champions, we've been stepping back and saying what are the key technological advances over the course of the next 10 years, where do we need to invest, what does it mean, how would we describe. And it's not a roadmap, not a specific description of exactly what we're going to go do, but really frame kind of where north lies.
And if we do those three things, we keep a long term perspective on our horizon, we do software as a service and our Live initiative right, and we participate not only in the PC but also in other devices, it's going to be an exciting and a successful future in the marketplace.
LARRY COHEN: Thanks, Bill and Steve.
Thank you, everybody, for joining us here today, and joining us on the call. Have a good afternoon. Thank you very much.
