But if one company has its way, software redeployment may change dramatically. Transitive Corp.'s QuickTransit hardware-virtualization software is designed to let any app compiled for one processor and OS run on another processor and OS, with no source code or binary changes.

In a Q&A session following a keynote address, Brad Anderson, chief executive of the $18 billion retailer, said that tying refrigerators, security systems, and other devices to the home network was the next big thing.
