Gates & Co. unveiled .NET ("dot-net"), a clunkily named companywide initiative that aims to at long last yank the company--whose main products still come shrink-wrapped--into the Internet age. Gates and his troops hauled out gadgets that were truly cool (a new Net-friendly tablet PC you write on with a pen), and videos that tried too hard to be (a promo for a new Net protocol...
