  Plugged In: Heads up for Microsoft's "HailStorm"
Time: 16:37 EST/21:37 GMT | News Source: Reuters | Posted By: Byron Hinson

In 1975, a young software whiz named Bill Gates penned a famous letter to computer enthusiasts arguing for the then-controversial notion that software should be paid for.Having used that idea to turn Microsoft Corp into the biggest software company in the world, Gates is now saying the same thing about the Internet: If you want it, you'll have to pay for it. Last month, the Microsoft chairman unveiled HailStorm, the company's biggest step towards turning services like instant messaging and online calendars into a profitable business. ``We are already starting to see the increase in services being made that people are being expected to pay for. That's a trend that's only going to continue,'' said David Smith, an analyst with Gartner Group, a technology consultancy.
