A large number of industry pundits have speculated as to regardless of whether Windows Vista is the last big-bang release of Windows. (The answer, as Microsoft officials have repeatedly stated, is no.) I feel they're asking the wrong question. Instead,
Office 2007 Pro Plus Keygen, why not ask whether Windows would be the center of Microsoft's universe going forward? Might there some other product/products upon which Microsoft is betting the farm? My favorite question during the Q&A session at the end of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's Convergence conference keynote address on March 14 sounded deceptively simple. I'm paraphrasing,
Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate Activation, but the questioner asked Ballmer something like this: "With all the hoopla here at the conference around SharePoint Server, is it correct to believe of SharePoint as almost like an OS (operating system)"? Bingo. Microsoft officials increasingly are talking up "Software + Services,
Office Pro Plus 2007," as opposed to "Software as a Service" in explaining Microsoft's future. So how does Microsoft keep the growing family of home business services it is introducing tethered to on-premise software? SharePoint Server may be the solution. Not Windows. Not Windows Server. Not Office. SharePoint. Ballmer told the Convergence questioner he was dead-on in his thinking. "SharePoint is the definitive OS or platform for the middle tier,
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 Keygen," Ballmer explained. It is the "missing link" (my words, not his) between personal productivity and line-of-business applications. Ballmer also provided one of the most succinct definitions of SharePoint Server I've heard from any Microsoft exec. SharePoint is just like Office; it's a bunch of point products gathered together into a suite. Although Microsoft is not fond of calling out the six or so servers that comprise Office SharePoint Server, it is a bunch of server apps loosely joined. What are Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Dynamics ERP other than the perfect guinea pigs for Microsoft's attempts to make SharePoint Server the new,
Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2007 clave, must-have platform for its business enterprise users? Microsoft Internet business Solutions (MBS) could be the captive laboratory for Microsoft's Software + Services experiments. Agree? Disagree? Or is SharePoint Server just not on your radar screen (yet)?
