Microsoft on Wednesday shipped Visual Studio.Net, a revamped package of the company's popular software development tools that includes Visual Basic, Visual C++ and its new Java-like language, C#.
"What we're saying is, today is a major step forward for letting people build the next generation of applications designed around XML Web services," Gates said in a speech to attendees of a Microsoft-sponsored developers conference here. "It's the most comprehensive development tool of all time."
