We all know that in the process to achieve number one,
那么，在成為第一的過程中，
Microsoft did buy and annex many companies of others,and destroy many companies.

However,if we've built a product that is much better than another company's product,
然而，如果我們生產一個比另一家公司更好的產品。
and that company cease to be competitive,that company can disappear.
那么，那個公司將會不具有競爭性，它也會消失的。
So also in our history we've been competing with companies like Sybase and Informix and a company called Ingrace which was disappeared.

如果你真的打破了，僅僅降低你的價格，就像微軟摧毀Netscape公司一樣。
then you breaking the law,then you've done things that you are not allowed to do,and you need to be punished.
那么，你一打破法律，你所做的事情就不許去做了，你將得到懲罰。
You think that any measures of competition could be adopted as long as they are legal,don't you?
你是覺得只要是在不違法的情況下，任何的競爭手段都是可以的嗎？
I also think you should be ethical in your competition.
在你的競爭中，我也認為會與倫理有關的。
Again you shouldn't...I mean try to deceive anybody.
你應該不會的，去欺騙任何人。
So we are really focus on the way we can compete and the way is not to say:boy,we want to destroy this company,
