Microsoft’s response to Dick Brass (former Microsoft VP) editorial in the NYT:

At the highest level, we think about innovation in relation to its ability to have a positive impact in the world. For Microsoft, it is not sufficient to simply have a good idea, or a great idea, or even a cool idea. We measure our work by its broad impact.

Translation: “We don’t have to be better. We’re bigger.” “Slow is okay when you’re big.”
