Who knows what's best for Microsoft? Who doesn't want to drive innovation with the parking brake on? When is years of deliberation not quite enough? Who broke down and admitted to learning something? Think you know? Take the quiz and prove it.
You know the drill: Match the quote to the quoted then check your answers in the answer key.
The quotes1. "After years of deliberation, we are still unready to move forward with comprehensive reform of intercarrier compensation and universal service." 2. "To this day I would say that the best thing for Microsoft to do is to buy Yahoo." 3. "I'm not saying they're not going to be a factor, but we're in a world with Symbian, we're in a world with BlackBerry, we're in a world with Linux Mobile." 4. "We don't view it as a penalty, we view it as raising the accountability." 5. "What I learned is, we could have communicated it a little bit better. That's the only thing." 6. "After all, if you're doing something online that you don't want your coworkers to know about, you don't want to raise their attention with a big sign saying PRIVATE as they pass by and glance over your shoulder." 7. "We're not going to let the prospect of a lengthy legal battle distract us from our core mission. That would be like trying to drive down the road of innovation with the parking brake on." |
