Microsoft's call to stay competitive
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
A visit Thursday to Microsoft's "Home of the Future" impressed Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, though he said that Microsoft, like other companies throughout the country, should increase their pace of innovation.
After viewing the multiroom display, which uses emerging technology to show how technophiles may live in the future, Gutierrez pronounced it "amazing" and praised it as "a great example of why we believe we have the most competitive economy on Earth."
But, in an interview after the tour, he said he was asking the company "to do what they have always done, to step it up, to recognize that the world is a lot more competitive."
