What is Microsoft for? I ask the question, because I think it's one that the company has been asking itself a lot recently.
Is it a software company? Producing an operating system, and tools like Office.
Or is it a hardware company? Producing games consoles and peripherals.
Perhaps it's a web company? Producing an online ecosystem, such as Live Mesh.
Or is it a server company? Producing Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS).
The answer, according to Microsoft, is all four.
Yesterday two of Microsoft's leading executives, Jean Philippe Courtois, head of all Microsoft outside North America, and Gordon Frazer, head of Microsoft UK visited BBC News' Business Unit, as part of a series of lunchtime talks we arrange with leading businesses.
Mr Courtois has been with Microsoft 24 years, and Mr Frazer 13 years; long enough to see the firm reinvent itself over and over again.
