Gates Prophecies

    Speaking at a conference in Hong Kong in honor of the tenth anniversary of the formation of Microsoft Research Asia, Microsoft founder shared his views on the development of user interfaces and online services, and also predicted the upcoming software revolution.

    The main points of the retired from Microsoft, but not retired Gates are as follows:
    - Software as a service. More precisely, the wider distribution of this model. Everything on the Web - calculations, storage and file processing. This, according to Bill, is the software revolution.
    - Development of interaction interfaces. According to Bill Gates, after 10 years, the UI will definitely include voice and touch control (here, of course, a hint of Surface).
    - Artificial Intelligence. Maybe.

    As Gizmodo very subtly noticed, Gates has a strange future. Google applications (software as a service), iPhone and the same Surface (interface), and possibly robotic AI. Good at predicting the future. More precisely, already existing. Well, besides AI, of course. Or did Bill just have nothing to say?
