Gates noted his company had “a renewed effort to invest in Internet Explorer”.
“We are hard at work on a new version of that: IE 8 – a very creative name we came up with,” he said.
He also talked up Microsoft’s plans for Oslo, which will feature a new modeling language, repository, storage mechanism and way to manipulate models. A Community Technology Preview (CTP) is due this fall. The next edition of Visual Studio, meanwhile, will support the Object Management Group’s Unified Modeling Language (UML).
