  Microsoft facing a technology gap?
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: MSNBC | Posted By: Todd Richardson

HIS MESSAGE: With no immediate breakthroughs in technology coming, and with the Linux computer operating system and a batch of other open-source programs biting at its heels, Microsoft will have to do a better job of persuading customers it has something they need.
