So what's the bottom line? They are going to take it to the next level?

Seriously: this is unreadable BS. Quoting Nietzsche and Rilke at the end seemed almost farcical.

It was way too long, but I thought this could be Microsoft's rallying cry going forward:

"We help people get stuff done."

I actually believe this could distinguish Microsoft from the likes of Google, Apple and Amazon. Google helps you find the information you're looking for. Apple gives the individual user a great computing experience. Amazon lets you buy anything at a low price.

But Microsoft is more strongly associated with work than any other software company in my mind. They should embrace this, and re-envision what it means in a post-Windows world.

Indeed. When microsoft invented Office, productivity and LOB was their plus point ever since. Then they push the productivity everywhere with Office365 to web and mobile. He, Satya, was only helping the company to remember it's core business line and it's vision. >I actually believe this could distinguish Microsoft from the likes of Google, Apple and Amazon. I like how they distinguish themselves from others.

The bottom line is that they are going to disclose more about the bottom line later.
