If Bill Gates gets his way, within 10 years speech technology will be ubiquitous and the unrelenting security headaches of today will be only a distant nightmare. Interviewed by Gartner CEO Michael Fleisher on stage here at the Gartner Symposium ITxpo 2004, Gates also touched on the importance of security, Web services, and visual modeling technologies.
As Microsoft has reiterated at every turn, security is also a primary area of investment within the software company. Spam, for instance, is a particular area of focus. The most dangerous aspect of spam is social engineering attacks that spoof sender identities, Gates said.
