　　微软公司的创始人兼总裁比尔·盖茨计划撰写一本新书，这本新书将阐述未来科技对大众和企业的影响。
　　
　　盖茨的上一本书《未来时速》出版于1996年。微软公司发言人约翰·培迪特表示：新书目前仍处于计划的初级阶段，其出版时间尚未确定。
　　
　　培迪特说：“比尔已经开始考虑新书的内容，这本新书在介绍新技术的同时将阐述创新给人们的交流和娱乐方式带来的改变，以及创新对整个社会产生的深远的影响。”
　　
　　1995年，盖茨与另两名作者一起合写了《未来之路》。
　　
　　盖茨新书涉及的很多主题都将围绕如何通过技术革新来改善个人和公司收集、管理日益增长的大量数据的方法。
　　
　　此类话题同样出现在微软公司年度CEO峰会的议程上。软件巨头微软公司把世界各地的首席执行官们请到位于美国雷特蒙德（微软总部所在地）的华盛顿大学，参加由盖茨主持的、为期两天的网络会议和演讲活动。
　　
　　微软公司同时宣布，将于2006年下半年发行Office电子制表软件、电子邮件以及文字处理程序的最新版本。同期，还将发行Windows操作系统的新版本，代码名为Longhorn。
　　
　　Bill Gates, the co-founder and chairman of Microsoft Corp., is planning to write another book on how new technology will affect people and companies.
　　
　　Gates, whose last book, "Business @ at the Speed of Thought," was published in 1996, is still in the early stages of planning and no date has been set yet for the book‘s release, Microsoft spokesman John Pinette said.
　　
　　"Bill has begun thinking about a new book that will talk about new technology and how innovation is going to transform the way we communicate, entertainment and also how innovation is going to have a profound effect at large institutions," Pinette said.
　　
　　Gates also wrote "The Road Ahead" in 1995 with two other authors.
　　
　　Many of the topics that Gates is expected to cover in his book includes themes around improving the way individuals and corporations collect and manage the increasing volume of data made available through technology.
　　
　　Such topics are also on the agenda at Microsoft‘s annual CEO Summit, where the software giant invites chief executives from various corporations around the world to its Redmond, Washington campus for two days of networking and presentations led by Gates.
　　
　　The world‘s largest software maker also announced that it would launch the next version of its Office spreadsheet, e-mail and word processing programs during the second half of 2006, the same time frame it is planning for the next version of Windows, code-named Longhorn.
