  Microsoft prepares for the second billion PCs
Time: 09:06 EST/14:06 GMT | News Source: VNUNet | Posted By: Chris Hedlund

As computer technology expands to areas that traditionally belonged to consumer electronics manufacturers, the software industry has a big chance for ongoing success, Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer said during a speech to students at Stanford Business School. The number of computers will increase from the current one billion to two billion by 2008, according to Ballmer. "The second billion PCs are going to be quite different from the first billion," he said. As users store information on a multitude of devices, the need for effective search technology will become paramount. "Everything is going digital. All the information we want is there; it's just very difficult to organise," said Ballmer.
