Прочитайте и переведите отрывок из интервью с Биллом Гейтсом.
At Tech•Ed 2008, Bill discusses the future of application development and the advances in software and hardware creating new opportunities for developers.
BILL GATES: Good morning and welcome to Tech•Ed.
This is the first year that we broke Tech•Ed into two sections, the section this week, which is just for developers, and a section next week, which is focused on IT.
When we did that, we thought we'd get about 4,000 developers to the conference, and so we've been very pleased that there's over 6,000 people signed up and attending the events this week. So, a huge response, a lot of exciting new things that you're going to get a chance to see.
I really enjoy coming to this conference because I'm a developer. Writing code in new and better ways is really what drives the progress of our industry: the ability to develop new user interfaces, the ability to connect up to all the sites out there on the Web, the ability to let people view data in the way they want to view it.
And development really is changing. The tools are getting better all the time.
Today, we're going to take a glimpse at the various aspects of that, and see what we're doing, but, of course, the center of this conference is your opportunity to go to the breakouts and give us feedback and tell us what you like about what we're doing, tell us what you'd like to see us do differently. We really value the great interaction that takes place at this event.
Well, for me this event is also a milestone. It's my last public speech as a full-time chairman of Microsoft. July 1 is when I make a change. I'll go from being full-time at Microsoft and part-time on the work of my foundation to doing it the other way around, full-time on the foundation and part-time with my Microsoft work.
Now, that's the first time I've really changed my career since I was 17 years old and just completely immersed in software and the unbelievable ways that software, together with the microprocessor, has created new things, including the personal computer itself and the entire Internet.
So, I don't know what it's going to be like. It will be a bit abrupt, and put me in new territory. So, some friends called me up and said that to help me get in the mindset of what it would be like they'd help me put together a video of my last day and making this switch. What we did here is we pulled together sort of a director's cut of this last day video with a fair number of new things and some interesting things. So, it should be fun. Let's take a look at what my last day might be like.

(Video segment.)
Well, we had a lot of fun making that, and the whole transition that was announced two years ago is going very well, and there are some incredible people, a number of whom will be on stage with me today, are stepping up to drive the technology work.
