What Microsoft is pushing down the pipe
STRATEGY / The software company has its hand
in a number of pies, but communications is the key.

Toronto -- BILL Gates is really anxious for the big pipes to arrive.

Microsoft Corp.'s chairman doesn't care who makes these technologies -- which are capable of quickly pumping huge
amounts of data over wires or cables -- just as long as they get them here soon...

...Microsoft could stay on the same path, adding features to its existing programs. (Mr. Myhrvold would never use the term
"bloatware" to describe his employer's products, but he acknowledges that nobody uses all the features of Microsoft's
current software.)

Or it could try to develop products for high-speed -- or broadband -- networks that make the personal computer a
premier communications device, a compelling tool people can use to experience the convergence of video, computing and
communications.
