Gates brings Vista, Office 2007 to Europe
PC World | at | by Mike
Microsoft's Bill Gates ushered his company's new Vista OS and Office 2007 software suite into Europe this morning, near the end of a round-the-world event that brings the software to 70 countries in 19 languages.
Gates, who wore a pin-stripe suit and burgundy tie, started his presentation about 20 minutes late at the UK launch event at the British Library, which is working with Microsoft to digitize parts of its vast collection.
He recalled how far the company had come since 1995, the year the 32-bit Windows OS was launched along with the Internet Explorer browser, now one of the company's most-used applications.
