Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's CEO, Ballmer the Seattle Times today in an interview with Microsoft CEO Ballmer Steve Ballmer, who spoke about Mobile, search and Facebook in an interview. The following is the main content of the interview: Q: You will hold a staff meeting.　　What message would you like to convey to 40,000 employees in the Seattle area? Mr. Ballmer: We took bold action and got good staff. From a product standpoint, we will continue to act boldly, whether it's Windows Phone 7, or Kinect or IE9.　　Some of the work we've done has begun to pay off. Q: Windows Phone 7 will be launched this Christmas holiday.　　How will you develop this business? Mr. Ballmer: Our starting point is, "will the market have an excellent mobile phone with our software this Christmas holiday?" "You shouldn't be thinking about how much money you're going to make right now, and that sort of thing. These are issues of long-term concern. In the short run, you should attract people to use these phones. I think these phones will look good.　　If we can make these phones get users and market attention, then we can certainly make money from it.　　Q: What experience have you gained from kin mobile phone? Ballmer: The most important experience we get from kin phones is focus. You can convey a lot of information to consumers. You need to act boldly, to look forward, and to focus.　　Kin us from the attention of Windows Phone.　　Q: I saw Google CEO Eric Schmidt say that Apple and Facebook are not his direct rivals, and Bing is. Steve Ballmer: Bing is his first competitor.　　I've seen the news.　　Q: He said, "Bing is a well-functioning, competitive search engine," What do you think of it? Ballmer: He's right, but he still needs to compete with Apple and Facebook. Welcome to our world, this is a world full of competition. We are all competing and others will compete with them. We have a good competitor, Apple, Google, Oracle, VMware. We work with Facebook, but in some ways we compete with them.　　We are also Google's best competitor. Q: By working with Yahoo, you are ranked second in the search market and become a highly competitive participant.　　How will you maintain growth in the search field? Mr. Ballmer: This relies mainly on the quality of products and innovation. We start with three aspects. First of all, we must do something that must be done in the competition, this is our chips on the stage.　　The internet is growing every day, and you need to catalog pages and be able to search a larger range. Second, we need to differentiate in some ways. WeThe map service is better and the image search is different. Google is also continuing to improve. In a sense, because our market share is low, it is easier to try new things. They need to be relatively conservative because they have made a lot of money. If they make changes, such as adjusting page layouts, users may no longer click on their ads. So we are evolving and achieving differentiation. They are also starting to look at the work we do and try to imitate it.　　But imitation is the best compliment. Third, we need to do some work that will change the rules of the game, including investment in new equipment, and the adoption of new business models.　　This makes us a change in the industry, and we will work on that.　　Q: Has Microsoft finished cutting jobs? Mr. Ballmer: "Layoffs (layoff)" is a very special word. Are we constantly downsizing and reorganizing? We always push our employees to keep changing. We'll try something, but if the project doesn't work out, we'll cut the team and we'll have our employees look for positions elsewhere in the company.　　We will continue to do so in the future. Q: You said earlier that Microsoft is fully engaged in cloud computing.　　How do you explain this to investors? Mr. Ballmer: This is the biggest profit opportunity before us. Through cloud computing, we can provide more value to our customers, which means we can make more money.　　Second, with the development of our cloud computing business, we will accumulate market share and compete with Oracle and IBM.　　Q: When will Windows 7 enter an ipad-like tablet? Ballmer: When you're ready. Windows 7 tablet computers are currently shipped. The problem is actually when we will see Windows 7 Tablet PCs of different sizes.　　From this Christmas onwards, until next year, there will be Windows 7 Tablet PC market. Q: Windows 7 performed well during the release phase, Office 2010 was just launched, Bing's market share is on the rise, and you are about to launch a new mobile operating system.　　Why do you think the current stock price is still low? Mr. Ballmer: I can't control the share price, but I'm very optimistic. It is clear that Microsoft is continuing to actively buy back shares. It also reflects our optimism that Microsoft is using shareholder money to buy back shares. One day the market will say, "You've done a great job and you've got a huge profit." Please prove to us that you can grasp the next round of development. "With some of the products we have released or are about to release, we will take the next round of development."　　However, we will give a good performance, there is no doubt.　　Q: How long are you going to be CEO? Ballmer: I don't know, I go to work the best way I know. Microsoft continues to grow. Besides my family, Microsoft is also my child. I want to make sure that my children are very healthy wherever I go. But Microsoft is not a baby, but a young man.　I want to make sure that Microsoft is in a good state.　Q: Do you have a Facebook account?　　Mr. Ballmer: Yes.　　Q: I found that there are multiple Ballmer pages on Facebook, but I don't know if they are real or fake. Ballmer: I'm not going to tell you which one is mine, because I don't want to get those friend requests. Ballmer has about 11 pages.　　Although there are no more pages than Bill Gates, there are still many.　　Q: How often do you log in?　　Ballmer: Every day.　　Q: Really? Ballmer: Absolutely.　　I use Facebook every day.
