This is Microsoft's slogan. "Microsoft. Your potential. Our passion." It means that it is Microsoft's passion to help you, or any person, acheive their potential. Hope this helps.

'Your Potential, Our Passion' more sound like a slogan. podlesni is right.
Just reverse the words, can we think about an organisation which fits that slogan well:
Your Passion, Our Potential: May be this forum itself. UsingEnglish.com can describe itself.
Make sense / Nonsense.

I think Microsoft have the better version- it makes more sense for people to care about their customers' potential.
