Mike Morris is angry. Not in a table-pounding, in-your-face kind of way. His anger is much more controlled than that-and just as unnerving. When he speaks, the volume doesn’t rise, but the speed with which the words come pouring out accelerates. You wonder when-if-he will stop for breath.

In March, Microsoft rolled out Hailstorm, the chunk of .NET dedicated to consumers. Services targeting businesses are due out later this year.
