Microsoft's Ozzie touts 'cheap' tech revolution

Microsoft's chief software architect dislikes the limelight but his role is crucial to shaping and coordinating the company's far flung product and services plans.
That's why it seemed a little odd for Ray Ozzie, who took over the job from the retiring Bill Gates two years ago, to hold forth on his vision of where the software behemoth is going to a group of financial analysts Wednesday at the Bernstein Strategic Decisions conference in New York.
"I'm more kind of the man behind the curtains so to speak, but I spend a lot more time hands-on with the product groups," Ozzie said ? never mind the subtle pun on his name and the wizard with a similar moniker.
