Ballmer said "one area where I really think you'll see extra innovation and investment and drive, it really is in information organization, search and retrieval. That will be an area that we really push ourselves. We'll push ourselves at the desktop, we'll push ourselves at the corporate network level, we'll push ourselves out in the internet…. Believe me, the world can and will do a lot better job in helping people find, navigate and organize the information of the world, and our company is dedicated to being the leader at that."
