He said, I quote:

"A big challenge that Web services needs to meet is the challenge of trustworthy computing, which is having
these systems be reliable enough so that you can think of them as you do about electricity and water which
are so reliable that you take them for granted," Gates said. "There are a lot of breakthroughs in software
verification that need to be made to have this work, and it is a top priority for Microsoft's research group." 

Too bad he didn't make the offer first to our American Indians.
