Thank you. It's a thrill to be back at Comdex. You're going to see a lot of great new products this year, some of them serious, and some of them kind of fun.

It's a real pleasure to have a chance to talk about some of the things going on with programming languages and programming tools. I think it's fair to say that in this era of computing, where everything is connected together, really a limiting factor is the ability to write rich programs -- rich programs that can connect up to others and where you can design them with an assurance that these programs will not only work together but they'll work in a secure fashion.

Up till now when we used our personal computer, it's always looked like this, but in the future it's going to look often like this. And today we're going to explain why there's a whole new way of experiencing the personal computer that's ushered in by the Tablet PC.

MSN 8 has been many years in the making, as we've sat down and learned about what users wanted in an online experience. It's really a breakthrough product for us.

Well, this is a big milestone for us. We've worked the last year on a set of new software technologies. And like many new software technologies we had some very specific ideas in mind when we did the work, but we also know that when you create something as powerful as this that people are going to use it in new ways that you don't expect.

You'll get a sense from us over these next couple of days that we're very excited about the decade ahead. We're very excited because we think that software and hardware during this decade can solve some of the tough problems that have been discussed during the past decade. We call it the "Digital Decade" because we think the tools that will be created during this timeframe will be the best tools for empowerment and productivity the world has ever seen.

We're going to be looking back a little bit today at some of the announcements we made two years ago at Forum 2000 and talk about the progress we've made in the new architecture that we've sent Microsoft on starting at that point.

What I want to share this morning is a view of how over the next five or six years there will be some very dramatic advances, many of those building on the investments that have taken place, the fact that the Internet is there, that connectivity to businesses and many consumers we can just simply assume that is going to allow us to do some very important things.

The picture I want to paint is that this next decade will actually be the one of more advances, more improvements than many decades that have come before.

I see the technology business creating more opportunities than ever. It really is a miracle business because of the very rapid advances that are involved. When people thought about computers 20 years ago they thought about them as a tool of the large organization and really antithetical to human beings, to human values.

If the only thing that technology was used for is the advances in medicine that it enables to take place, that alone would justify everything that's been done, but, of course, it’s far more than that and the key point I want to make is we’re really just at the beginning.

Over this next decade, which we refer to as the digital decade, the PC will be used for a wide range of things that it’s never been used for in the past. Everyone will expect their music, their photos to be there on the PC and that will be the place you’ll organize them, and the PC will make sure that those things show up on any device you want to use them on.

If we could take the best practices from around the world, the systems that are being put together are really quite fantastic -- fantastic in terms of citizen empowerment, getting information out there to improve democracy, making government more efficient -- less waiting in line, more transparency of information, just making it so people can focus on what they want to get done -- make it easier to think of government as a partner in what's going on.

It's fair to say that every dream we have about hardware, virtually all of those are being made a reality. The performance of these Windows servers is going way beyond what the most expensive mainframe or UNIX machine would have been in the past. The peripherals, the digital cameras, the printers, all of those things are coming together.

Coming together with Great Plains is a key part of Microsoft's vision. As we think about this next era, which we talk about as the digital decade, what really counts is how we're going to connect things together. We're going to build the platform that lets data be shared between software packages, between people and software and people and people in ways that have never been possible before.

The .NET vision incorporates more than just Web services. It talks about how people use these things, being able to get their information at any time, any place, on any device, pocket-sized devices, tablet-sized devices, in the car, or the TV set -- you name it -- all connected up to these capabilities.

What I want to talk about tonight is where consumer electronics is going, and in particular the role that software is playing in defining new types of devices and how these devices work together. You’ll find that I’m very optimistic about what we’ll see, not just in the next decade that I call the digital decade, but even in the next year or two in terms of the advances that take place when great software and hardware come together.
