Bill Gates Regulation Quotations

Microsoft's key goal is to be able to have the freedom to innovate like we always have, where we decide what goes into the product, where we can support the Internet in the product, ... We're simply sticking up for that. We're hard at work on the new products while the competitors are trying to use regulation to slow us down.

These proposals will have a chilling effect on innovation in the high technology industry, ... Microsoft could never have developed Windows under these rules. Looking forward, this kind of regulation would make it impossible for Microsoft to develop the next generation of great software.

This is clearly the most massive attempt at government regulation of the technology industry ever.
