Description
Summary:This article reports on a series of memos issued by Bill Gates, the chairman of Microsoft, on the emergence of a new generation of web-based software, often called Web 2.0. First came an internal memo written by Ray Ozzie, its chief technical officer, which was backed up by a second memo by Gates just a few days later. Ozzie, the inventor of Lotus Notes, has spent most of his career fighting Microsoft. However, Microsoft hired him in 2005 to help Gates revitalise Microsoft for the future.
