Microsoft Corp. adopted a new mantra on Thursday, promising to work harder to make its software work better with other software systems and hardware, Chairman Bill Gates said in an e-mail to customers.

Previously, such e-mails signaled the launch of massive new efforts by the world's largest software company. The last major initiative, to improve the security of the company's software, was launched by Gates three years ago, and most messages since then have focused on that issue.

But in Thursday's lengthy e-mail, sent to major corporate customers and made public by Microsoft, the company said it would boost efforts to make its software work more smoothly, or "interoperate" with other existing technologies.

Is he finally warming up to open source

He should be. Surely he has achieved as much as he could possibly want on this planet in terms of wealth and fame. Anything he hasn't got he could easily buy so why doesn't he just sit back and enjoy his middle/old age and let the world continue without him and his very restrictive practices.
