"Ballmer and Butt-Head"

"[...] the only thing I'd rather own than [[w:Microsoft Windows|[Microsoft] Windows]] is English or Chinese or Spanish, because then I could charge a $249 right to speak English. And I could charge you an upgrade fee when I add new letters like N and T."

"You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it."

"What we offer is good enough. It's like my haircut: It ain't pretty, but it's good enough."

"In a world without fences, who needs Gates?"

"I am very liberal on social issues, but I don’t believe we can have personal liberty, which is what that means, without having economic liberty. We have economic tyranny when you add in Obamacare, we have about 50 percent of the U.S. GDP in the public sector. That means that you have a tyrannical and overregulating, and politicized economy, not a market economy, not the invisible hand."

"[Tech] is unstoppable. We're getting more tech in our lives every day as we go to VR or AR and all of the machine learning and artificial intelligence and all the rest of it."

"Open source is free like a puppy is free."

"During his years at the helm, McNealy grew Sun from a Silicon Valley start-up to a leading provider of network computing infrastructure with thousands of employees worldwide."
