The Future According to Gates
http://www.ameinfo.com/33384.html
A very interesting article outlining an interview with Microsoft CEO Bill Gates about how he sees the future of the company and technology as a whole. The most entertaining factor of this interview is that it took place in 2004 and in these 4 years since, many of his future endeavors have lost their footing.
