Gates: Windows to call on phones
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft's next conquest could be your telephone. The Redmond, Wash.-based computing giant is working on future versions of its Windows operating system which will better interoperate with the telephone and other communications devices, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates said Tuesday.
In future versions of Windows, phone calls will be routed through the PC, while voice messages will be turned into e-mails that can be read. E-mail also will serve as an application for delivering voice messages, Gates said in a keynote speech delivered at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) here.
