Microsoft can't be faulted for vision, even if execution sometimes lags behind.
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates kicked off the company's annual financial analysis by, once again, talking about the future. Referring to computing progress, "the next 10 years are by far the most interesting," he said.
But in a departure, Gates spoke more about Microsoft's more immediate plans to get to the future. Gates used Nintendo Wii and Apple iPhone as good examples of "natural user-interface" innovations. But he then emphasized that Microsoft had been focusing on natural UIs for a "long, long time."
