As you cogitate on what's next technologically, and the role the PC will play, what do you see now as you look ahead-what will we need, what will we want and how will Microsoft products deliver...

And 20 years ago, we may never have realized what they were up to. But these days, any parent with a PC can do a quick Google search to determine the exact degree to which their physicians are treating them like children. Even the most obscure medical studies are easily accessible. Forget Dr. Spock. I can peruse Danish researchers' findings on the connection between bed wetting and the color blue or whether being exposed...
