Microsoft pins hopes on clipboard
eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft's chief technologist Ray Ozzie on March 7 showed off his next great big idea: a virtual clipboard to "wire-the-Web." What he proposes he calls a "Live Clipboard" for copying all the information from a Web site, then pasting it onto another site, or feeding all that data to a software program for processing.
This is all significant to Microsoft, and moreover the technology industry, because Ozzie is the brains behind a new Microsoft strategy for selling software.
So what he's thinking provides great insight into how Microsoft intends to carry out its "Live" strategy.
