Steve Ballmer opened Microsoft's annual TechEd conference in San Diego on Monday promoting the need for business and technology people to think aggressively about the untapped potential of information technology. Microsoft's CEO then drilled into the nitty gritty of getting it done, announcing Web services advances and new tools designed to help different kinds of IT professionals collaborate during the lifecycle of Visual Studio applications.
"We have a chance to change the world in a positive way, and I think that's important for us to remember," Ballmer told attendees. "I think the next 10 years will bring more positive change and innovation in our industry than the last 10 years." Anyone who didn't agree about that, Ballmer joked, could "meet me backstage afterwards and I'll have a chat with you."
