[Windows 8] is a great upgrade for normal Windows usage, but that idea of a Store, the rich user interface… it’s a big step, it’s key to where personal computing is going.”

We’re sharing between Windows 8 Phone [sic] and Windows 8, sharing the user interface, sharing some of those development tools, and over time, we’ll just get to do more and more of that, so it’s involving, literally, to be a single platform.”

This is a big milestone for all Microsoft products in terms of connecting to cloud services… Windows 8, Windows 8 Phone [sic], and the new version of Office that’s coming out, they all go get their storage, go get your personalization, and so that’s a wonderful thing, and it works – you just sit there going ‘Wow!'”
