Bangalore: Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates will inaugurate the Digital Lifestyle 2005 to be organised here by MAIT, the apex body representing the hardware, training and research and development service sectors of the information technology industry in India.

The three-day event will showcase the latest technologies and products by various Indian and multinational companies.

The event seeks to bring consumers face to face with the latest in digital technology, including video, photography, music, internet, wireless technologies, games and home entertainment.

Today, households account for close to 30 per cent of the IT consumption, and with the home market getting savvier, we thought it appropriate to launch a show tailor-made for the consumers. We expect thousands of people to visit the event and make it a great success," said MAIT Executive Director Vinnie Mehta.
