REDMOND, Wash. -- Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates unveiled a sweeping new initiative today aimed at transforming the company's operating systems and software products into services for people to access through the Internet.
The initiative, called Microsoft.NET, will allow computer users to access data from an array of devices, including personal computers, handheld organizers and cell phones.
"The impact of the Internet has been spectacular to date, but the pace of innovation will accelerate over the next five years," Gates said. "Our goal is to move beyond today's world of stand-alone websites to an Internet of interchangeable components where devices and services can be assembled into cohesive user-driven experiences."
