InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Bill Gates took center stage at Telecom World 2003 to tell a nearly packed auditorium that Microsoft aims to equip enterprises, carriers and individuals with technology to bridge the PC and mobile worlds more easily, efficiently and, above all, securely. Microsoft's chairman and chief software architect, speaking Monday at the International Telecommunication Union-organized event, zeroed in on what has clearly emerged as the main theme of the Geneva show -- mobility. His message was that software is vital not only to power the PC and mobile worlds but also to bridge them. And Microsoft, which spends several billion dollars annually on research and development, will invest heavily in mobility software platforms moving ahead.
