You know that we don't get into specific product from a unit standpoint giving guidance, and so we feel very confident about the trajectory for the company and for iPhone going forward.
1
So, Anthony, I can just take the first part of that at least, which is – look, our focus is on kick-starting the ecosystem here for the video tab that Mark talked about.
0
In terms of the next leg of this, given the momentum that we're seeing across the board, we feel great about our current services, but obviously we're also thrilled about our pipeline that have some new services in it as well.
1
Then you can start thinking about Messenger and some of the other platforms we have.
0
Yes, I think that's a fair interpretation of my commentary both last year and this, which really speaks to consistency.
1
In terms of monetizing time spent, it’s certainly the case that consumers have shifted to mobile and businesses need to catch up.

But when you're running an operation and serving people at this scale, I think you have a responsibility to invest in all these things that are downstream that could help shape and improve people's lives, because I don't think that there are that many other folks in the world who will.
0
And so you can bet that we're pulling that string.
1
AI tools over time will be able to do a better job of flagging things for the set of people who are in the Community Ops teams that we can prioritize what we look at.

So we will always be evolving that, part of that involves changing fee structures, sometimes, adding new fees or subtracting old ones, part of it involves raising or lowering fees that sellers pay.
1
We like our position in it.
1
I mean that is absolutely the fact, case, that is we are seeing a much faster adoption cycle, obviously starting with the consumer side but even the 8 million business PCs that are already running Windows 10 before we have started in fact the push on enterprise.
1
So over the very long run, I think we remain very optimistic about the growth opportunities we have.
1
CapEx, as I mentioned, grew quite a bit in 2014 and grew even more to over $9 billion across all of our capital expenditures and capital leases in 2015.
0
But we're also making investments to support the core growth of the business.
0
and we think we're making good progress there,
1
So in terms of news and different kinds of content, I know this has traditionally been something that we've delivered a really good experience for in terms of people being able to share the content that they want, being able to get access to the content that they want, different recommendations from friends, and we've a lot more coming there,
0
And then streaming is just a natural sequence of it.
0
And I'm really happy to do this.
1
And so that's the reason it's chockfull of incredible innovation.
1
And the fact that so much video is being consumed on our platform gives us room for an ads business to grow
1
We're also seeing a higher stock-based compensation expense.
1
We had some –we think some pre-buys in Q1 and we're overlapping that in Q1 of this year.

And a lot of what we're trying to do is enable a number of those things through Facebook, while also building unique world-class services to enable people to share all the things they care about with all the different sets of people that they care about.
0
We're seeing investment, we're investing in the audience network and we think it's important
1
So, we think of those in really three components.
1
We’re really excited to get into customers’ hands, so more to come there.
1
Really one thing to kind of think about here is that improving the quality and the relevance of the ads has enabled us to show more of them and without harming the experience, and our focus really remains on the experience.

Minecraft on mobile we just launched in fact in the last quarter in China.
0

Our approach to monetization anywhere is always very cautious and we are very - moving very slowly on Messenger, where we remain primarily focused on consumer growth and engagement.

And the research there is very clear that when people are using the Internet, and including our services, to interact with other people, that's associated with all the positive elements of well-being that you'd expect: feeling more connected, feeling less lonely, feeling happier, and long-term measures of health but when you're simply using the Internet to passively consume content that isn't necessarily associated with positive improvements to well-being.

0
So that's where if you think about the thing that Amy and I focus a lot on is the capital efficiency end-to-end in that context versus getting caught up in even the capital efficiency as measured by any one of these individual pieces, because we think that's what Microsoft's uniqueness long term lies.

People are constantly moving from home to work and to other things that they may be doing.

0

0
We will raise debt both in the U.S. and outside of the United States.

1
