Hello guys,
Microsoft Chief Operating Officer, Kevin Turner said" Ladies and gentleman, we are going to a new world where not only will every device be connected, but every application, and more importantly person will be connected. we are going to a world where you will live, how you live and how you work, the lines will be blurred, because lifestyle and work style are becoming more and more connected."
Windows and Office continue to be Microsoft’s main cash cows, with a range of additional offerings also qualifying for positions of top earners. There are a range of company divisions pulling in over $1 billion in revenue each year, including Xbox, SQL Server, System Center, Unified Communications, SharePoint, Developer Tools, Dynamics, and Online Advertising. And yet, Microsoft is looking past Windows 8, Windows 9, Office 15 and Office 16, and is revealing that the future will be marked by a technology which is still in its infancy: the Cloud.
And our big bold goal for the next couple of decades is we want to have a continuous cloud service for every person and every business.
Microsoft has a plethora of Cloud offerings already available to customers, both businesses and home users. The company has produced the Windows Azure Cloud platform, but is also delivering SQL Azure, and hosted versions of Exchange, SharePoint and its communications solutions. At the same time, with products such as Office 2010, end users are increasingly encouraged to embrace the Cloud, as the Office Web Apps are available through Windows Live SkyDrive. And by the sound of it, Microsoft is just warming up. It will certainly be an interesting next 20 years.
