ArmInfo. About 30 journalists from 20 countries of Central and
Eastern Europe took part in the conference "Business innovations"
of the biggest programme producer of Microsoft corporation, held on
7-8 May at general headquarters of the corporation in Campus, not far
from Seattle. At the conference top managers of Microsoft submitted
programmes of the corporation on preserving the leading position in
the world over the next decade. For this reason the corporation will
draw attention not only at drawing out of innovation technologies,
but it is also going to draw out new innovation business-models and
new ways of inclusion of bigger number of people, opening new segments
of community and extending geography of its presence.
Software plus Services for the Consumer Brad Brooks, Corporate
Vice President, Windows Consumer Product Marketing presented the
specifics of Microsoft's offerings in consumer software as a service
by exploring some of the trends for how people consume content online
and the power of hosted services.
The Future is Mobile Todd Peters, Corporate Vice President, Mobile
Communications Business Having looked at the way that technology will
be consumed in the future through hosted services, this session will
explore Microsoft's vision for "one Windows Mobile phone for life"
or the way in which the mobile phone is uniquely placed to bridge
the gap between the home and the enterprise. It is the one piece of
technology that we carry around at all times and it is permanently
switched on, offering a unique window into our lives. Microsoft sees
a great opportunity to extend the capabilities of the phone to offer
people more services.
Vice-president of Microsoft on information production management Chris
Capossela said that over the past ten years, the PC era has given
way to an era in which the web is at the centre of our experiences -
experiences delivered not just through the browser but also through
many different devices including PCs, phones, media players, game
consoles, set-top boxes and televisions, cars, and more. Microsoft's
mission in this new era is to create compelling, seamless experiences
that combine the power of the internet, with the magic of software,
across a world of devices.
For his part, David Foster, General Manager, Product Development,
Unlimited Potential Group and Bohdan Raciborski, Lead Developer,
Ultra-Low Cost PC, Unlimited Potential Group Are all these
technological advances only going to be made available to the world's
richest people so that they reap all the benefits while those in
segments of society are left underserved by technology? Microsoft
believes that it is everyone's right to have access to technology to
help education, employability and competitiveness. This cannot just
be achieved by providing technology for a low-cost laptop but comes
through creative ideas to make technology more affordable, relevant
and accessible to all people. This session will outline the various
products and product delivery mechanisms Microsoft is exploring to
help more people access the technology they need to take advantage
of economic opportunity.
He also added that within the frames of the frames of Unlimited
Potential project over 5 years Microsoft will direct $235 mln to its
partners in its educational programmes so that to create opportunities
for raising "the computer literacy".
On 8 May initiators of the conference organized excursion the
ultra-modern and technically equipped information centre of Microsoft.
To note, Microsoft net profit over 9 months of 2007-2008 financial
year which ended on 31 March, amounted to $13,38 bln. This sum exceeds
similar index by 21%. The company income over the three quarters
of the financial year has grown by 18% and amounted to $44,58 bln
against $37,75 bln in 2006-2007 financial year.
