August Capital VC David Hornik shares some insights on Wall Street Journal's D Conference last week where:
Bill Gates "...spoke a fair bit about the Microsoft technology de jour, including .net (web services) and the Tablet PC, both of which he predicted would be central to doing business in the near future. Gates didn't overly hype his stuff -- he was an effective low key pitch man."
David continues later, "While I have a hard time seeing the mass market for Tablet PCs, I would not be one to quickly bet against Microsoft. And not just because of the incredibly size and market power Microsoft holds. But because of Bill Gates. He remains a powerful spokesman for the continued vibrance of technology."
