IT is about to undergo another revolution, this time allowing us to interact with it in more natural ways, Steve Ballmer predicted at the opening ceremony of the Cebit trade show in Germany.

Ballmer recounted seeing the IT industry undergo four revolutions since he joined Microsoft 28 years ago: The arrival of affordable personal computers, the development of graphical user interfaces, the rise of the Internet, and "the Web 2.0 revolution," which was just beginning when he last visited Cebit in 2002, he said.
