I am very, very sad to hear the news about Steve. He was a great man with incredible achievements and amazing brilliance. He always seemed to be able to say in very few words what you actually should have been thinking before you thought it. His focus on the user experience above all else has always been an inspiration to me. He was very kind to reach out to me as I became CEO of Google and spend time offering his advice and knowledge even though he was not at all well. My thoughts and Google's are with his family and the whole Apple family.

原文の一部Today is an incredibly sad day for me, and indeed for anyone who considers themselves a technologist or entrepreneur. It is also a sad day for anyone who believes in the value of creativity and the importance of innovation, and for the millions of people who were touched by the creative genius evidenced in the many products and companies created by Steve Jobs throughout his remarkable career. Steve Jobs was the most important technology leader of our era?perhaps even the most important business leader of our era. He was also a unique figure in the world of business and technology, a man who demonstrated?more so than any other?that pure force of will, energy, and creative drive can change the world for the better.

ベニオフ氏が同社従業員に送ったメール
I am deeply sorry to hear of Steve Jobs passing today.
Steve was the greatest leader our industry has ever know.
He led our industry relentlessly for over three decades.
I was fortunate to be given my first job by Apple in May 1984, I was 19.
Steve has since given me incredible personal support, always cared for my problems, and salesforce has directly benefited by a myriad of his ideas.
There would not be a salesforce.com without Steve Jobs.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.
Aloha,
Marc
