Introduction to Software Engineering. Sometimes I was getting so frustrated with BOCA, so I wanted to make something a little more flexible.

Dave Pacheco

You get more speed and more fuel efficiency out of using the software.

Paul Bemis

People will be freed from the absurd requirement that we communicate with software by typing and using a mouse. We don't communicate with one another this way, so why should we do so with software?

Randall Davis

I wouldn't be surprised if they just installed the software and weren't planning any dastardly activities and didn't know the implications of running this software.

Ray Everett church

If an innovative piece of software comes along, Microsoft copies it and makes it part of Windows, ... This is not innovation. This is the end of innovation.

Larry Ellison

Are Linux users lemmings collectively jumping off of the cliff of reliable, well-engineered commercial software?

Matt Welsh

Software as a service is something Microsoft wanted to pretend wasn't ever going to happen. The problem they have is that customers want it. Now more and more of the Microsoft franchise is being encroached upon, and not by a bunch of pimply kids like it was in the early Internet days, but by a company with a $100 billion market cap.

Bruce Richardson

Genesis is not a suite or a bundle of tools, but a single integrated software application delivered to consumers as a service.

Tom Powledge

I would say that, at the moment, we are seeing more buoyancy in the market. Most of our members are reporting that they are seeing customers investing in software and infrastructure again.

Jeremy Roche

The leukemia specimens can be very difficult to analyze under the microscope. What this software allows us to do is pull the cells up on the screen. Three or four of us will gather around, and we can figure out the complex carrier types.

Mary Haag

The combination of standardized protocols and component-based software will make it less and less sensible for corporations to have their own IS staff in the traditional sense.

Chris Meyer

The software enables our dealers to place orders and to customize their own Web storefronts. It is all integrated into our database here in Ames.

Dion Buhman

Our agreement with Business Objects gives us more opportunities to help customers improve their business by using the industry's leading reporting software. By bundling Crystal Reports within our solutions, small and medium-sized businesses gain advanced reporting and analysis functionality that is easy to use and improves their decision making abilities.

Ron Verni

In the effort to keep up with the demands of customers, vendors are placing increased emphasis on self-service and Web-enabled CRM packages. This includes CRM software vendors moving their architecture from client/server, Web-enabled, and three-tier architectures to N-tiered architected Web-based applications.

Barton Goldenberg

Indications are that the software market is improving and this is not commensurate with what the stock is doing. It's just a painful thing to keep reading about this soap opera.

Robert Mattson

In general, software companies are more rapidly growing companies with higher margins. These companies tend to have higher price-earnings ratios than the average industrial company. They have farther to fall when people start getting worried.

Art Russell

We are delighted to be able to include Matt's expertise among the firm's resources. Our software patent procurement, counseling, and litigation practices have grown rapidly, and with the addition of Matt to the LL&A team, we have expanded our ability to fully meet the needs of our clients in these areas.

Tom Sullivan

Software is a key enabler for organizations that are facing information growth, yet have to face [restricted] IT budgets.

Greg Eden

It's very difficult unless you're a major network. With the Internet ... all that's required is a camera, editing software and an Internet connection.

Peter Marra

Over the January-February timeframe we recognized there were some problems with some software from an outside vendor.

Tom Tauke

Oracle is executing very well. This validates that Oracle is a leader in consolidating the software sector. The strategy they are embarking upon is the right strategy.

Trip Chowdhry

They might be working in software development, engineering, or accountancy and find they enjoy communicating the [jargon] of that industry in a simple way for people.

Steve Moss

The software market remains highly competitive and our fourth quarter results were mixed by geography. We saw double-digit growth in the Americas, where we believe we gained market share in both the fourth quarter and full year. This was partially offset by weaker results in Europe.

Mark Loughridge

We actually hire the student before we send them to school. We pay them while they go to school, and we provide them with a lap-top computer with the company's software on it. And they will have a job waiting when they get out of school.

Dennis Massingham

In 2006-2008 mobile antivirus software will become mainstream. In which year exactly, will depend on how the threats develop.

Risto Siilasmaa

Fusion is not expected to be done until 2008, and then customers will evaluate the software through 2010. They're taking a wait-and-see approach.

Bruce Richardson

Music fans shouldn't have to install potentially dangerous, privacy intrusive software on their computers just to listen to the music they've legitimately purchased.

Cindy Cohn

Isn't it true that Netscape has actually increased the pace of new releases of its browser software as a result of Microsoft's browser software?

John Warden

Apple sells hardware and software. They don't have an existing subscriber base like cable companies, and they don't have content like ESPN that people have an affinity to.

Julie Ask

Ingres will be a disruptive force in the database market. The economics of enterprise software are ripe for change and Ingres delivers a credible alternative to customers wanting a higher return on their database investment.

Tom Berquist

You'll have automated federation of all aspects of the software development lifecycle process.

Danny Sabbah

We'll also beef up our software development capability because software is essential for operating digital consumer electronics. We are now far short of the software engineers we need.

Ryoji Chubachi

The Maverick membership will work closely together to find, qualify and invest in early-stage companies relying on leading-edge collaborative software.

John Dilts

I have concluded that 180's business model is fundamentally broken -- that 180 cannot implement technology or enforcement to assure the proper installation of its software. Accordingly, just as CDT [Center for Democracy & Technology] terminated its discussions with 180, I have resolved not to tell 180solutions which specific distributor was responsible for this installation.

Ben Edelman

I think it's a huge improvement for the company, ... I'm very pleased to see they've got a CEO that has some background and experience in enterprise software. He's the most qualified CEO since founder Philippe Kahn.

Robert Coates

With the release of GPLv3, we aim to increase the international reach of the Free Software movement. To develop this new license, we will be contacting communities across the globe to ensure their participation in the update of one of the most important social documents of our time.

Peter Brown

Obsolescence is part of the auto industry. We believe the problem is addressable. I think there will be a whole range of options for people to update their software.

Umar Riaz

Our software developers need to be in touch with colleagues and communication is easier if you can see each other.

Michael Lord

The global centre will create a portfolio of replicable industry solutions, being developed by combining the skill sets of our business consulting, research, software, systems, engineering, and emerging technologies.

Amitabh Ray

It's my pleasure to welcome Craig to the Board. His experience in leading young software companies through accelerated growth is ideal as we increase focus on our go-to-market objectives.

Phil Delurgio

These tools are changing the basic core economics of software development.

Tim Bray

We need the best software engineers. Here, we have them.

Rakesh Mathur

We found a number of hacking software that had been loaded onto the computer. He had used that to gain access to the administrative computer.

George Worthington

[The Electronic Frontier Foundation said it tried to persuade Sony to take the offending software off the discs.] We negotiated with them, ... and they agreed to do a lot of things. But they left undone a lot of things they said they wouldn't do.

Cindy Cohn

Install virus protection software. The second thing you have to do is keep it up to date. Have your virus definitions updated daily.

Mike Turpin

Sony should concentrate on games, movies and music and software businesses rather than hardware businesses. I'm not quite sure about their concentrating on flat-panel TVs because this is a very competitive market.

Yuuki Sakurai

So many people are now excited to have a solution for their platforms. One of the big advantages of free software is the ability of people that have machines I don't own can help make it truly portable.

Rob Savoye

PeopleSoft had 12.9 percent operating margins in 2002 and 10.1 percent for the latest reported quarter. He just bought a company [software maker J.D. Edwards] that is losing money. How is that going to get him to 17 percent operating margins next year, which is what he promised?

Chuck Phillips

In open-source software (OSS), Europe is at the forefront.

Florian Mueller

It can be horrendous. There's so much that software cannot possibly know.

David Mellem

Plumtree is an innovator in the portal software market, ... They've been successful in selling to business users; BEA's strength is the IT department.

Brian Mcdonough

Then the architecture of how to build the electronic hardware and software is also done here. It is the next phase, the implementation of producing the microchips and software that largely will be done in India.

Dwight Decker

We are pleased with the quarter. It was solid quarter coming out of a major product transition and making the [browser] free. Both enterprise software and services showed steady growth. We feel we're well positioned going forward.

Peter Currie

PLM is growing. It was a $4 to $5 billion software market five years ago. It's now in $10 billion [in 2005]. With this landscape we can even grow no only our business, but total principal market.

Bernard Charles

Combining Adobe's broad reach with Symantec's award-winning PC security software will help make the Internet a safer place for people to access and engage with the information and services they need.

Kurt Garbe

We don't doubt that the wide availability of effective security software products that detect and fight cyber security threats is helping to restore consumer confidence in the security of online transactions.

Diane Smiroldo

ISVs are really embracing this model. And VARs who have either a vertical or horizontal expertise can take the applications for a demo with their customers, or play with the applications in a development environment; you can't do that with software.

Bobby Napiltonia

It would be really nice to see Microsoft turn around a patch in between 60 and 90 days. Considering the size of the company and the way some of these Internet-facing software [apps] are complicated, the 90-day window isn't that bad. But when it creeps up to three and four months, it becomes unacceptable.

Steve Manzuik

Orb is the best place-shifting product for use with any mobile device, including cell phones, especially since there is no additional software to load. I've been watching a lot of basketball this past month and this is perfect for the Diamond user who expects the best in their products, and is looking for an easy way to watch their favorite sports and TV shows, regardless of where they are.

Brian Mccarthy

After years of working with multiple software vendors in this industry, we're excited about this opportunity to sign an exclusive agreement with a long-standing and financially secure partner with a diverse range of customers nationwide. This partnership links us with a leader in enterprise behavioral healthcare software.

Tom Vincent

I'm of the opinion that users should know what's going into their computers. There should be no hidden software installed.

Natalie Lambert

We are surprised sometimes that people have not updated their software in a year.

Vincent Gullotto

We have a new class of software that really is about information integration.

Janet Perna

Ten-percent growth in software is a very good number. That's the kind of thing we want to see. That's where [Gerstner is] getting leverage. That's where he's cementing the future of the company.

Daniel Kunstler

I use them all the time on campus for school, but with this new software becoming available, I plan on purchasing one in the near future. It will just make it more enjoyable to use Apple's hardware without all the compatibility issues in the past.

Michael Dawson

We're extremely excited to have Exit as our partner in promoting ImagePhone2. This will allow us to distribute the software package to over 200,000 households annually, calculated on only five sales per year by each of Exit's 20,000 agents.

Chip Greenberg

They're hiring consultants. They're hiring accounting firms. They're buying software. Everything is changing.

Laura Fisher

The acquisition has effectively expanded Red Hat's market opportunity in one of the fastest growing sectors of software.

Jason Maynard

The recent Sony experience shows us that we need to be thinking about how we ensure that consumers are not surprised by what their software programs do.

Jonathan Frenkel

For as little as ?2 a day, and with no extra software or technical support required, we are offering businesses an efficient, simple and good value solution to plan their day the easy way.

Harold Goddijn

It could easily become a 3D educational software product, which is also covered by my patent. I'm trying to achieve a design science toy that will help kids understand science at a different level.

Mark Burginger

We think this will be an incremental boost to the overall network attached storage market and is an incremental revenue opportunity for EMC, and therefore positive for EMC. We believe Network Appliance will face more competition from EMC, but we did not see any new major software that hugely disturbs what is occurring in this space.

Tom Kraemer

We are always pleased to see our customers finding success with our software. Entrepreneurs, by nature, are very brave people. Taking a business online has unique challenges, but our products and services continue to help thousands of small businesses successfully establish an online presence.

Brandon Lewis

Project and portfolio management is critical as development is increasingly distributed, as organizations adopt service oriented architectures, and as audits require evidence of regulatory compliance. With IBM's new project and portfolio management software, organizations can more effectively govern their software and systems development projects.

Roger Oberg

Everyone benefits when innovation is fostered through collaboration and the open exchange of technological advances, ... We are gratified to see CA respond so enthusiastically to IBM's call for owners of intellectual property to accelerate interoperability and the adoption of open source software.

Jim Stallings

FAST encourage businesses to do an electronic audit of the software on their systems. Our question to people running businesses is ? have you got control of your enterprise systems? The answer is probably 'no'.

John Lovelock

What Apple Computers are not doing (when) using the Apple mark is selling software, delivery systems, or anything of the like. They are selling music. And that is in violation of the agreement.

Geoffrey Vos

Services are the present and future development trend for enterprise software. We've all agreed to speak the lingua franca of services. This is immensely important to customers; just as HTML enabled the explosion of the Web, SOA is doing the same for business applications.

Andrew Leigh

Presently, On-Demand Solutions are helping numerous clients develop sustainable compliance processes that will reduce risks and increase accounting efficiencies across their organizations. We expect that number to grow significantly as other businesses choose to leverage the power of the Web to reduce time, costs and the risks associated with implementing application software.

John Harte

We started with the assumption that it was a software-related problem, but we are looking at both equipment and software, and we just can't pinpoint where it is.

Peggy Sell

This is still one of the best software companies out there.

Gary Abbott

Software is becoming the basis of the new economy, but surely that was also true of petroleum in 1912.

William Comanor

Software companies all want to be able to offer more product and more value for the same price.

Richard Petersen

This is likely to remain a fragmented market, ... There will be some acquisitions but I don't see this as a massive rollup opportunity for larger software players.

Paul Ritter

We really don't know why people would enjoy the ease of the software ... and not hit the send button.

Gloria Sutton

Integration was not very hard. The interface that Lucas created is very flexible and was compatible with the systems we already had. Lucas went directly into our software and saved us a huge amount of money, around $100,000, because we didn't have to buy anything else for our WMS.

John Schuler

It's not their fault in some respects, but there just hasn't been enough software available. It's all about the games, and if they aren't there, there is just absolutely no point.

Hiroshi Kamide

Joining Borland at this time is a tremendous opportunity. Software organizations are facing significant challenges in order to be more responsive to business needs and I believe Borland is the right company to help address these challenges.

Tod Nielsen

Many investors are fearful that oracle will acquire this that and the other thing. But my contention is they need to. The software industry is plagued by having too many companies. There are far too many duck hunters for the number of ducks out there.

Bert Hochfeld

To keep that all organized requires either headcount or a good software system.

Richard Rush

Developers have to be able to work in unison, as a team, regardless of where they are. Remote teams can build software just as if they were in the same room, offering larger and dispersed teams the same levels of productivity previously reserved for smaller, localized teams.

Rob Cheng

But looking for the effect of proprietary software on the open source community is like trying to measure the gravitational effect of the earth on the orbit of the Sun.

Michael Tiemann

It's getting increasingly easy to swap software and increasingly hard to catch pirates. These new sentencing guidelines give law enforcement some real ammunition.

John Wolfe

Broad based support is needed among manufacturing customer organizations to support standards development and deployment activities. The success of this effort and future development of standards based software components is dependent upon demonstrating a strong market need and customer commitment.

Gary Sullivan

What I have in mind is not necessarily how other people see things, ... is different than if you were sculpting with your hands. I had to learn enough about the way the software worked to communicate with people about how to do the transformations.

Jeffrey Schwartz

There is a very high growth of new companies, which are backed by venture capitalists [and] are starting out as software-as-a-service companies. Also, there are vendors like SAP that offered a traditional license that are moving to hosted offerings.

Buell Duncan

A small number of IT vendors are at the moment putting customers at risk of unwittingly running illegal software. Microsoft will not tolerate illegal copies of its software being sold.

Michala Alexander

Our goal is to help OEMs create a new class of virtualization solutions for small and medium enterprises. The new class of solutions would consist of the same OEM software (snapshot, replication, etc.) ported onto a high-performance, low-cost hardware platform.

Frank Berry

This is unlike Standard Oil or AT&T, where there were physical assets. This is an intellectual property-focused case, so it's about people and software.

Paul Dravis

I see the decision about provisioning software as the next strategic decision to be made.

Tony Iams

The software also may invent designs that no human designer would ever think of.

Jason Lohn

Most other companies in this space use a basic Web server model where you bring up a Web page and it simply refreshes to reflect a change in status. From a software standpoint, that's slower and much less graceful than using Web Services.

Mike Seamons

You get a few revisions down the road, and you aren't able to read documents created under older versions of software, so you almost have to keep a hard copy, because subsequent versions can't read them.

Tom Reardon

Software as a service is something Microsoft wanted to pretend wasn't ever going to happen.

Bruce Richardson

Parental-control software is a help, but it's not a panacea. It's not the answer.

Al Kush

I'm not saying we purposely introduced bugs or anything, but this is kind of a natural result of any complexities of software... that you can't fully test it.

Will Wright

Provides one piece of software, like the Model T, and everybody is supposed to be happy with it.

Tom Siebel

There is a more significant revenue component to this relationship. IBM is making available to us their portfolio that runs on Linux; we can then incorporate that software into Red Hat products and jointly sell those products.

Paul Mcnamara

The Unix server business is more of a wild card. They're either going to have to gain some market share or accelerate their efforts on the services and software side. But the markets they're going after certainly support that kind of growth.

Kurt King

Today's announcement demonstrates Corel's commitment to provide customers with powerful, flexible and affordable digital imaging software tailored specifically to meet their needs.

David Dobson

Small businesses are moving onto the Internet at a phenomenal rate, ... A number of hardware and software companies are offering turnkey packages for catalog-building and e-commerce that will allow just about anybody to get on the Net.

Chris Shipley

Mature, low-risk tactical software substantially reduces APKWS II cost and risk, which will enable us to get this much-needed weapon system to our customer as soon as possible.

Steve Barnoske

Tom is a seasoned software leader with a strong business track record. His deep domain expertise makes him an ideal leader for our software business and a great addition to the HP team.

Ann Livermore

Fixed costs like salary, retirement, taxes, utilities, software, and general supplies are the brunt of the increases.

William Powell

If you're using the Internet today, you're using open source software; you're using Linux.

Larry Augustin

The best way to help protect consumers is to raise awareness of the issue and equip them to spot counterfeit software and help them understand what they should do about it.

Bradley Hopkinson

We're pleased that JVC is able to meet compliance requirements on time and with the knowledge that the software will adapt as their supply chain and customers dictate. JVC has demonstrated its customer commitment by making RFID tagging an integrated step in its order operations.

Chris Heim

Sales were particularly strong in those categories that were expanded following last year's exit from the appliance business and which seasonally peak in December, ... These categories include video game hardware, software and accessories; digital cameras; personal computer software and accessories; and DVD software.

Alan Mccollough

Sun is ill equipped to be the low-cost hardware provider. It's the right move to move towards software.

Dion Cornett

(These systems integrators) still need to partner with IBM because IBM has some very strong software products - they are going to be forced to walk the fine line between partnership and competition.

Barry Murphy

One small company we spoke to ended up getting their legitimate mail blocked by anti-spam software, because they had been used as a spam relay, and that was very, very painful.

Chris Potter

The first thing they could do is open up their software to get help fixing all the bugs in their products.

Simon Phipps

The hardest sector hit [on Monday] was Internet infrastructure software companies, which until a week ago were holding up really well, ... Historically, when all the tech stocks are hurting, that would signal that the market is finally bottoming.

Robert Turner

The choice to partner with Phoebus Software was made easier by the reference sites Phoebus provided and by the impressive functionality of the software.

Andrew Sinclair

As far as we can tell, technology spending for enterprise hardware and software remains very soft and does not appear to be improving.

Jeff Henley

While the FBI has always, as a first instinct, sought to work cooperatively and closely with computer network service providers, software and equipment manufacturers and many others to fight these crimes, it also became obvious that the FBI needed its own tools to fight this battle.

Donald Kerr

Without a dedicated software group focused and experienced in delivering these services on a product basis, TTM (time-to-market) and risk management can appear to be formidable challenges.

David Mccartney

Now you can make the case that it's driving innovation offshore. If you want to start a new software company that does something imaginative and wonderful, you have every incentive to start that company in Slovenia or China or a place that doesn't have these rules.

Tom Demarco

If a large company were to obtain thousands of software patents every year, the barrier to entry of new software companies could become insurmountable.

Tom Demarco

A full audit of software located on our company computers discovered that an employee had installed software for which we had not paid licensing fees. Since then, we have implemented a robust software management program to more closely monitor installations of software programs on all company computers.

Robert James

They're somewhat easier, because they're self-contained. They don't have the same maze of menus and screens you have to navigate with software.

James Billington

The software engineering research really does not bear out this idea.

Steve Mcconnell

That said, software as a service is an evolution, not a replacement for software as we know it.

Jonathan Eunice

The Business Software Alliance is offering business and organizations a special opportunity to ensure that all of their software is fully licensed.

Bob Kruger

It is a uniquely American industry. Almost all of the technological developments in software and hardware design are coming out of the United States.

Alan Meckler

In the U.S., our work with law enforcement focuses on criminal computer networks. With legitimate businesses that copy software illegally, we generally follow through with a civil suit.

Nancy Anderson

This software models any contagious disease. Basically, what we can do is to give the model the characteristics of any contagious disease, such as bird flu, foot and mouth disease or SARS.

Roger Morris

This site will be a clearinghouse of information on shady affiliate networks, software that generates false clicks and impressions, and how-to advice so advertisers can avoid being ripped off.

Clarence Briggs

There's a certain amount of rotation of different types of market participants, and now you've got to come in all over again and say, 'OK, here's how you can make money by selling software that people can download for free,' ... A new crowd of people now has to understand that.

Brent Williams

Since starting the company in 1986, AMR Research has long appreciated the innovation that goes into creating new software products.

Bruce Richardson

In 1998-99, enterprise software companies were actually harmed by shift to Internet computing because they didn't have products to offer in that category. They are now just beginning to enjoy the product cycle in Internet-architected software. In addition, there is a broad shift to e-business throughout the economy and a heightened appreciation of the value of e-commerce.

Bob Austrian

I believe that the enterprise software industry is at a crossroads.

Ray Lane

The software analyzes different aspects of a company's income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement to provide you with exact buy and sell recommendations.

Mark Hing

The cost of software is going down rapidly, the cost of producing intellectual property is going down dramatically, and the ability to differentiate is also going down. But if the costs of producing software and distributing software have gone down so dramatically, why does it still cost so much to buy software?

Byron Sebastian

Our aim is to construct an open and widely accessible software framework that puts the individual at the center of the identity management universe. For in the end, security is not just technological, but social.

John Clippinger

As the e-commerce market matures, you're going to see more software package solutions. Even Oracle is getting into the applications business. There is much more packaging on the software side to facilitate seamless scalability.

Seamus Mcateer

There has been a lot of interest in Software Assurance, but customers have said they want more time to plan and budget. Our response has been to extend the transition period.

Simon Hughes

Business Process Networks take the concept of software-as-a-service to a new level. By focusing on transaction-intensive processes, extending common business processes across multiple companies and leveraging shared connections, we are able to accelerate the adoption cycles and significantly lower operating costs.

John Keenan

I'm shocked that we're still seeing $5 billion of VC go into software.

Ray Lane

There have been some important steps taken in the last few weeks that, if brought to fruition, will have a significant impact on the software sector in China.

Pamela Passman

Unfortunately, disappointing earnings have been a pattern for Magic Software in recent weeks. This is the fourth time in the last six months in which we have reduced our earnings-per-share estimates for the company.

Gregg Moskowitz

It's relatively simple. We have world class hardware, software and services -- it's rare for a company to have one of those, but we have all three. We can bring products to market quicker and we can move faster than competition because we control everything. It's a difficult equation for our competitors to match.

Greg Joswiak

People will move into software next year. It's a question of when, not if.

David Hilal

A new model of intellectual property management for Linux must be established to maintain advances in software innovation -- regardless of the size or type of business or organization.

Open Source

I'd recommend that users running IE at home especially give Beta 2 a try. Its security benefits outweigh any risks of using beta software.

Gary Schare

These will become business decisions and not IT decisions. The CIO doesn't care who owns the software license.

Bill Willis

When people come to our stores to buy a new PC or new software for their PC, we want to be able to offer them a broad set of choices, immediate availability and a great retail experience. We agree with Microsoft that it's best to do this right -- and in this case it's delivering Windows Vista-based PCs with confidence in January 2007.

Ron Boire

The AI software examined millions of potential antenna designs before settling on a final one. Through a process patterned after Darwin's 'survival of the fittest,' the strongest designs survive and the less capable do not.

Jason Lohn

In this new world of software assembly or component-based development there are more things you need to track the license obligations for.

Paul Henderson

Today's rally is the same script and the same old story. The disconnect between the Dow and the Nasdaq; and technology shares, especially semiconductor shares, software, e-commerce and wireless making new highs.

Ash Rajan

Before the new system, the export administration function was paper driven, manual and labor intensive. The introduction of software became necessary due to the increased level of business and demands from customers for a faster turnaround.

Barbara Russell

Of our dual enrollees, 25 percent have received their cards, 50 percent have some sort of information and 25 percent are just not in the system. Thank God for our software. When you get a prescription or a refill that comes up with no glitches, you almost want to jump up and down.

Kristin Campbell

A lot of their publications deal with the Internet, targeting professionals who write software for the Internet. So, in that way you're getting to play the growth in the Internet; the growth of programmers, so on and so forth, without necessarily being right in the fray of it all.

Dan Veru

This is all about selling a solution to small business instead of a value-priced PC with a glob of software. This is a tier one PC maker and a tier one software vendor both offering very aggressive value price.

Richard Carriere

I hope to get a job there, hopefully under software engineering.

Matt Bender

We're focusing as much attention on software and the intellectual property that's lost in software as we are in entertainment in movies and sound on CDs and tape.

Paula Stern

One of the things that struck me is that software vendors have been beat up in this sector for a while. But the consultants they use and depend on heavily don't come out as well as I thought they might.

William Band

The software walks you through it. If you put in an address in Harrison County, it will ask you if you had any losses due to the storm.

Kathy Waterbury

The software that resulted is fully appropriate.

John Gilmore

We're in the process of replacing old machines right now. So we decided to put the new software that recognizes the $20s only into the new machines, starting with the highest-volume locations.

Mike Healy

This speaks to why indemnification is so important for this channel: It is one where we allow changes to our software and this makes offering indemnification more challenging.

David Kaefer

The software guys haven't been shooting high enough. But as the performance available becomes higher, someone out there will be smart enough to take advantage of it. Of course, if they're not Microsoft, that could be tough.

Linley Gwennap

We provide companies with last-mile visibility. Our planning tools and software enable companies to get their products to their customers on time and on plan, and they can build their value-added services around that.

Alex Walker

Every single piece of software on your PC can be hacked.

Tom Waldrop

Within a month, Ray was putting his thoughts on software-as-services on paper.

Jeff Raikes

We closed the first software license deal in the history of the company to exceed one million dollars. The deal, to a large financial institution, would not have been possible without the added functionality we delivered with our S-PLUS 7 release earlier in 2005.

Jeff Coombs

There is no neat distinction between operating system software and the software that runs on top of it.

Jim Allchin

In the future, we are dreaming about several manufacturers making their own shape of hardware [legs and parts] and then gaming companies releasing new types of software. For this business to be really successful, we need several kinds of heads and legs.

Yoshinao Kambe

A long time ago, people didn't think there was science in computer science. If you were a member of the IBM Academy, you were in hardware. There was no deep intellectual depth in software. Now people say the same thing about services.

Paul Horn

The role we're trying to play in the ASP world is principally selling to companies that want to be ASPs. We'll sell hardware, software and services expertise to help make businesses successful.

Steve Mills

The goal was to make sure we had a platform across the stores that was consistent, provided ease of use for customers, and was a platform that would let our owner-operators deploy the system without a lot of hardware and software investment.

William Whitman

The purpose of the software is to manage what can't be managed well otherwise. That implies a certain level of complexity.

Jeff Tanner

Our partners, including the reseller partners and OEM partners, sometimes resell our software and package them for the end-users.

Rajeev Atluri

Customers use these servers for everything from software development and Web design to e-commerce and reselling. The flexibility is what gives this line of dedicated servers its value.

Clarence Briggs
