Windows 7 Product Key Wall Street analysts descend

Summer is typically a occupied time for Microsoft news and this 12 months is proving no exception.Right now, July 30, is Microsoft;s annual Financial Analyst Meeting (FAM), when Wall Road analysts and press are subject to treated to back-to-back presentations from Microsoft;s top execs, exactly where they outline the corporation;s item and strategy agenda for the company months.Speakers at this yr;s FAM consist of a majority of Microsoft;s top honchos — everyone from CEO Steve Ballmer, to Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner, Chief Financial Software Officer Chris Liddell, Chief Research and Strategy Officer Craig Mundie. Microsoft Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie is going to participate in an “executive discussion” panel with a handful of others at the end of the day,Microsoft Office 2010, but isn;t slated to give a separate presentation this yr.Four of the five Microsoft;s presidents are on tap to speak: Robbie Bach, head of Entertainment and Devices; Qi Lu,Windows 7 Product Key, head of Microsoft;s Online Services division; Stephen Elop, head of Microsoft;s Enterprise Division; and Bob Muglia, head of Server and Tools. Steven Sinofsky,Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, the newest of Microsoft;s presidents, who heads the Windows client unit, is not part of today;s line-up. Microsoft officials said Sinofsky is “out of town” a week after he and his team released Windows 7 to manufacturing.Update: Turns out Sinofsky isn;t out of town at all. He is at FAM but not speaking about the Windows enterprise. Ballmer ended up speaking about Windows, claiming that since he (Ballmer) had run the organization for most of the past fiscal year, he was going to be the one to talk about it.Analysts will undoubtedly be asking lots of questions about the July 29 search and ad partnership outlined by Microsoft and Yahoo,Windows 7 Home Premium, as well as more on Microsoft;s ongoing cost-cutting measures,Office 2010 Professional Plus, which is always a favorite topic among Wall Street;s Microsoft watchers.There are always new and interesting tidbits about Microsoft;s product plans that emerge during FAM. I;ll be filing throughout the day about anything new and interesting I hear. FAM kicks off at 11:30 a.m. ET and runs until about 7 p.m. ET.
