India Brass Microsoft chairman Bill Gates will make a brief one-day visit to India September 14, to address policy makers, state leaders and developers on his Internet strategy. Microsoft may use the opportunity to formally launch its India portal msn.co.in. It has been in beta for the past several months and was scheduled to be launched in September. Gates's one-day visit to New Delhi on September 14 comes three years after his first visit to the country. One of the reasons for his visit in India, said sources, is to celebrate Microsoft India's 10th anniversary, which coincides with Microsoft's 25th anniversary.
Gates also plans to meet several software developers and chief information officers.
For that purpose, the center plans to incorporate Windows services for Unix development in the country and undertake key projects on Windows enterprise management.
