Bill Gates himself writes about how he works in his office. "It's pretty incredible to look back 30 years to when Microsoft (Research) was starting and realize how work has been transformed. We're finally getting close to what I call the digital workstyle. If you look at this office, there isn't much paper in it. On my desk I have three screens, synchronized to form a single desktop. I can drag items from one screen to the next. Once you have that large display area, you'll never go back, because it has a direct impact on productivity."

Interesting up to a point, but the whole thing comes over as a thinly disguised advert for Microsoft products, particluarly Sharepoint and the Tablet PC (and the alleged virtues of working seven days a week). To that extent, the article presents a fantasy. For most folks, work does not mean going along to an office to deal with a few emails and generally indulge the "digital lifestyle". It never has done and probably it never will.
Just my 2 cents, but I've found the best (and sometimes the worst) technology is what lies between people's ears, and to work at its best it needs to be well rested, fed and exercised, and talked to face to face. Put that in a Tablet PC and smoke it.
