If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul Monday, August 16, 2004Ambitious Package to Raise Productivity (and Microsoft's Profit)New York Times: "To most of the computer-using world, Microsoft Office is the familiar workhorse of the desktop, a collection of software for creating documents, spreadsheets and presentations. But for Microsoft, which is starting to see its growth slow as it ages, reinventing that suite of old reliables - including Word, Excel and PowerPoint - has become nothing less than a key to its future. 'Office defines business productivity,' Bill Gates, Microsoft's chairman, told financial analysts in July. He added that 'the productivity area is probably the most important franchise that we have.' With that focus, Microsoft is now pursuing a strategy to transform Office from a bundle of programs on personal computers into a family of software that can put Microsoft's technology deeper into the operations of corporate data centers."An interesting article about where Microsoft is going with Office, even if it's light on the details. One expected corroboration: Microsoft will now ship another Office version before Longhorn. [ Posted at 9:24 AM | Permalink ]
