i have a satya avatar with my tag and xbox. it's going to be the same avatar that i can now use with the microsoft account or the directory, and join a meeting. the thing about avatars is, if you think about you have your real presence in video today, you will also have your holographic presence, and the avatars are in the middle. i think there is a place for it. it is all about creating more presence, more human connection, giving all the options for people to be able to participate in the communities they are most interested in. emily: i know you are focused on business use cases, but obviously you have xbox. shouldn't we expect this to expand into xbox, gaming, and to entertainment and consumers more broadly? satya: absolutely. the way we think about it, we are a platform company. we always build the core intrinsics first, then we build it into our own first party application. you can expect us to do things in gaming. you can think about, if you take halo as a game, it is a metaverse. minecraft is a metavers. -- is a meta-ve

satya: i think we are in the early days. there is nothing creepy about visiting a covid ward remotely for a doctor to be able to help their patients, or to be able to do remote assistance in a manufacturing line in a time of covid crisis when the manufacturing line needs to be fixed by an engineer working from home. i think what we will do is really use these technologies as just the next shift for an increasingly digitized world. but we will use it only when it matches our expectations of why the technology benefits us. and we won't do anything that we feel is just not the way we want to show up. whether it's in our consumer life or our commercial life. emily: how big and dollar terms will this be for microsoft business? satya: we have approached these platform shifts, whether it's the cloud, or ai. to me, all of these things are absolute secular shifts. everything. for me, teams of the future will include metaverse capabilities. dynamics of the future will include metaverse capabilities. popular that form services will hop

now, that being said, the thing that satya brought back with vigor to the company was a focus on earninglity to build the next generation of products, starting with azure, but also transforming across the company , a "we are only one company in this universe and we are doing our absolute best to surprise and delight our customers." david: let's talk about the different skill sets. to be an investor, you need to have a certain skill set. what is that skill set and how is it different to be an entrepreneur? reid: i will start with an entrepreneur, because i think it is easier. the game is hard, but the definition is easier, which is, you have a vision for where the world is moving towards, where you can help build it towards. frequently in the case, a new technology or a market shift, something that gives you that market opportunity, you can assemble through your network the assets -- not just capital, but talent, the ability to build the new product or service, and you are driven by the cadence of a complete focus on how do you navigate that path. which can include pivoting, it can includ

. >> with microsoft, they took someone not a founder, satya nay nadella has done well. it's pleasing investors. it's hiring people so they don't go to, you know, facebook or snap or tiktok. it's really in a competitive area even though it has a that huge advantage when it comes to news. >> you have done expensive reporting on indian ceos. i was born in india and i didn't turn into a ceo. must have missed in the gene pool there. look at this. you know many of these gentlemen. just the education in tech is strong? >> very much so. the education system in india is strong and the default used to be, well, we will start something in india. now, hey, we are going to silicon valley and start a company. so this there is a lot of back and forth. when i was in india i saw a lot of americans visiting. it's a great relationship and technology and consumers benefit 100%. >> i love the interview with jack dorsey. >>> let's move on. here is something you don't see too often. we see plenty of mountain lions on the peninsula, but this mountain lion on a casual stroll in the middle of th

really the best example of what a non-founder can do satya nadal took over microsoft in 2014 and growth at microsoft has been extraordinary from really on the brink of being a has-been to returning that company to a global tech power. dorsey seems to think twitter is ready for that transformation. with someone who knows the company well, but isn't the company's creator. by the way, we've gotten used to a bearded dorsey. i did an interview with a much, much, younger, much more clean-shaven jack dorsey many years ago when twitter was brand new. i posted that interview to my twitter, which seems appropriate. you can find that @scottmcgrew on twitter. >>> okay. you can see scott mcgrew and the morning team every weekday, "today in the bay" 4:30 to 7:00 a.m. on nbc bay area. >>> this is a high-profile week at the supreme court. the justices will hear a direct challenge to roe v. wade. it's coming from mississippi. that state passed a law in 2018 to ban most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, but that law was blocked by the lower courts. the high court will now hear arguments beginning we

my exclusive conversation with ceo satya

jamil: satya is exactly right. there is a pandemic around the globe.e these attacks spreading broadly than we have ever seen before and coming after critical infrastructure. take the case of this young woman who came in in 2019, comes into a hospital in alabama she has her child, everyone was focused on, the cyberattack a lot of stuff was going on. they are not able to communicate effectively and there were less eyes on the baby's heart monitor. nine months later, the baby passes away. terrible incident. you could tie it back to some of these incidents. there are even more direct ties if you think about what might happen if our water supply was affected or if power went out and services were not available. as we are seeing this we are realizing this is a concrete challenge for people. part of the problem, emily, we have become accustomed to lots of cyber reaches, our data lost, our identities gone. people have become so jaded when it comes to cyber hacks but these attacks are different because they affect critical infrastructure and make it unavailable

think inflation will be higher and you know, i want to close this thought on something that i heard satya say on his earnings call he said digital technologies are a deflationary force in a deflationary economy i think where inflation will run higher over the next few years than it has. i think technology is a great place to be and i love how he summarized what microsoft is doing. >> weiss, mr. positive you always bring good vibes to the show always happy go lucky. how do you see it? between now and the end of the year >> well, good seeing you, too, scott. >> welcome, weiss. hope you had a nice weekend. >> i did look, i think there's going to be some volatility the trends of least resistance is higher. no surprise the fed's going to announce a tapering tomorrow and i think do it be iy the 15th that's pretty much priced in already. they may talk about bringing rate increases forward we'll get to see that. i think the market believes that will happen, also. i think it's a question of where you want to be we are seeing some loosening in the supply chain i got a copy of pete's book in a few d

qualcomm technologies across virtually every industry we had an opportunity to show like a video from satyatalking about our partnership across a number of different areas validating that. what you see the growth of the cloud, it requires all of those devices at the edge that are connected as well sending data to the cloud and that's where ww are. we are on the other side making it happen on the edge. >> you are not what people immediately think of when they think of qualcomm. peloton, amazon aftstro robot ws out in seattle artificial intelligence at the edge that's an example of what you're talking about and today you announced expanded partnership with bmw for automated driving and beyond why is bmw important and is it faster than automotive when it's taken five or ten years for this stuff to arrive for consumers. >> absolutely. car companies are becoming technology companies what we're announcing today is additional platform, that touches every single area. we are one of the few companies across those domains bmw has selected qualcomm for their autonomy, and it's a validation of our tech

you have microsoft's satya nadella. trying to remember all google so what's what's important to keep in mind here, right. is that by having these people who have deep experience with the companies, but also have kind of fresh take on things you have examples where microsoft turned around a lot of their culture and started working together in ways that they had under the previous leadership. you have google trying to kind of find its next big thing after search and even when you think about where all these other companies are going. apple went from being already a large company to being one of the largest tech companies in history. and that was all under tim cook. so for twitter, a lot of this opportunity is saying ok, well, maybe we reconsider the way we handle stuff like harassment. maybe we start reconsidering the way we handle how we build community and what we look at community what we think of as a good community on twitter because clearly if you listen to people who are advocates for victims who are harassed and a
