About the Seminar
The Internet and the Web have
revolutionized our communications, our access to information and our
business methods. However, there is still much room for improvement.
Frank Clegg will discuss Microsoft's vision for what is beyond browsing
and the dotcom. Microsoft .NET (pronounced "dot-net") is a new platform,
user experience and set of advanced software services planned to make all devices
work together and connect seamlessly. With this next generation of software, Microsoft's
goal is to make Internet-based computing and communications easier to use, more
personalized, and more productive for businesses and consumers. In his
new position of president of Microsoft Canada Co., Frank Clegg will be
responsible for leading the organization toward the delivery of
Microsoft .NET. He will speak about this new platform and the next
generation Internet, how software developers and businesses will be
able to take advantage of it, and what the .NET experience will look
like for consumers and business users.
