I have been invited to here today.
Three industry experts to have a pannel discussion on software.
Ladies and gentlemen, the macintosh software dating game
Welcome to the macintosh software dating game
Software CEOs, could I please ask you to introduce yourselves
Hi, Fred Gibbons, president of software publishing corporation
Hi, I'm Mitch Kapor, president of Lotus, would you ... to call 123
My name is Bill Gates, I'm a chairman of microsoft.
And during 1984,
microsoft is expected to get half its revenues from macintosh software
Software ... name No.3, When was your first day with macintosh
We have b
Software CEO No.3, will macintosh be the third industry standard
Well, to create a new standara, it takes something is not just a little bit different. It takes something is really new and really captures people's magination. And the macintosh of all the mashines I have seen ... is the only one ... standard
Software CEO No.3, describe you ideal relationship with Apple
Well, we will be saling our software independently, so the key thing is to the apple get a lot of consistent standard mashine out there quickly
Well, sorry Steve, time is up. We'd like to give Steve a few moment to descided this day's winner
Ok Steve, who is the winner
Apple is the red, IBM is blue, if mac is gonna be the third mailstone, I need all of you
Now, I'd like to talk about meaning co-partners
Apple waves in an eco-system
And, it needs help from other partners
It needs to help other partners
And relationships, that's a little [distructive], don't help anybody in this industry as it is today
So, during the last several weeks we have looked at some the relationships
And one has stood out as relationship. That's amm,
has some being going so well, but has potential I think to be great for both companies
The discussions is actually began
Because there were some patent disputes
And rather than the, I know, rather than the repeating history, I'm extremely proud of both companies
that they have resolved these differences in the very very professional way
And I have to have a special Gates meet today, via settled down link
And we could get upon the stage right now
Some of the most exceting work that I've done in my career and I has been work that I have done
with Steve on the Macintosh where is the first [inner duction] or doing products like mac [itself]
these been made you milestones
We were very exceted about the new release were building, this is called mac office 98
We do expected get it out by the end this year
I think it's going to really a seven new banch mark for doing you good job performence
And [explotid] you need mac features in many ways its more invenst
that what we done in the windows platform
We were also exceted about internet [sbore] and we got a very dadicated team in the [southern] of Canlifornia that worked product
And could [did] these really especially developed for the macintosh
it's not just pour about we done in the windows enviroment
We look for the feedback to more of youth as [we move] for doing more macintosh software. Thanks
The error of setting these office as competetion between apple and microsoft is over as far as I concern
This is about getting apple healthy. This is about apple being able to make increadiblely great contributions in this industry
So get health in prosper again
So thank you all for comming. I look forward to a hairing a growing in the chair tonight and days to fallow
