We think Android is very, very fragmented, and becoming more fragmented by the day. And as you know, Apple strives for the integrated model so that the user isn't forced to be the systems integrator.
I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see it, the more it looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don't find anything technically interesting there.
There is a mentality that if you're a long time AMDer, that we're x86: we know what we're doing, and it's just about building better x86 devices.
Silos can't interoperate unless the technology does.
I appreciate all the devices the Windows people are coming up with, but the operating system... I just want to smash it.
Oracle will continue to componentize all of its solutions so we can work in a heterogeneous environment.
With the increasing importance of standards for system-level objects such as COM and CORBA, it is particularly important that the C++ bindings to those be clean, well documented, and simple to use.
I'm worried about the future of computer operating systems, as they all seem to be sliding towards a more controlled experience, taking away much of what makes PC games so much fun.
The definition of an 'operating system' is bound to evolve with customer demands and technological possibilities.
I don't tolerate anything that runs slowly. Whether it be a phone, tablet or computer, it has to run at optimum speed.
We may have to force people to get together in terms of picking a particular type of technology and starting to build to that technology, as opposed to everybody exercising their right to buy their own system, you know, at will.
I don't get much sense of reward from having discovered how to get the Foo card to coexist with the Bar card.
Intel's still our main partner. We have not announced anything with AMD and don't have anything planned, but we're constantly being aware to make sure our customers get the best technology.
None of our competitors have ever made two systems that run the same software.
I have worked on PCs and on Macs and, while I have my preferences, I don't find it crippling to work on one rather than the other.
