Many things so far.

Personally, it appears that Men can multi-task.  I was on a 1:1 with my GM at the same time I was on the hook for another briefing, while chasing down a personal need for an analyst, all with little time to spare before heading to a Steve Mills 1:1 I had to be at.  This was all in a 20 minute time period.

Professionally, Steve Mills is one of the best IBM interviews.  Talk about gets why things are successful or not in the industry, here is a snip.  Why should customers or partners choose IBM, because of certainty of outcome.   Why does IBM do what it does, it is in response to customers needs, otherwise we wouldn’t exist.

What is the most important thing customers are looking for from us?   Portability, making sure that our software works on whatever platform the customer needs.  We are driven by the ecosystem.
