At a press event in San Francisco, Chairman Bill Gates kicks off Microsoft's "live software" push. He details the upcoming "Windows Live" and "Office Live" products, a fusion of software and services that are delivered across the Internet.
Showing that it's more than a little interested in enabling people to handle office tasks over the Internet, Google said on Thursday that it has snapped up Writely, a maker of a Web-based word processor.
