ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft's Chairman Bill Gates spent a lot of time today talking about "empowering the workers" at the Microsoft's 12th annual CEO Summit 2008 in Redmond, Wash., where he gave a keynote speech. However, Gates wasn't talking about political revolutions or even pay raises for office workers before the CEO crowd. Instead, he was referring to new software technologies that can better enable collaboration, social networking and decision-making on the job.
Much of Gates' talk focused on Microsoft's current research and development efforts, which amount to a $7 billion investment just for this year.
