Internet will create software revolution
Gates
In a statement which could have been made a decade ago, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates said that the dramatic growth of the Internet would eventually spark a software-writing revolution.
Pontificating to a forum to mark the 10th anniversary of Redmond's Asian research arm, Gates said that people often talk about this as the Internet service revolution.
He said that this will lead to machines that have lots of server capacity, lots of low-cost computing, low-cost storage. And that will let developers write software in an even more ambitious way.
Gates stepped down in June from his full-time role at Microsoft, which he co-founded.
