On September 28,
Microsoft Office 2007, Microsoft will maintain its annual provider meeting at Safeco field in downtown Seattle.Apart from arranging for comedian Amy Sedaris to play host, what do CEO Steve Ballmer and business have planned?As anonymous blogger Mini Microsoft notes, there will need to be a whole lot fewer executive speeches this yr,
Genuine Windows 7, as the quantity of senior leaders at the corporation has dwindled significantly because the begin with the year. There are actually now 3 Microsoft Presidents (Windows; Steven Sinofsky, Online Providers; Qi Lu and Server & Tools; Bob Muglia) left, with Robbie Bach and Steven Elop both gone. That could mean a lot more Ballmer blablabla, given the CEO is currently running mobile communications, gaming,
Windows 7 Starter, and the enterprise;s Office units.Mini suggests Microsoft demo some with the Windows Phone 7 apps that have been developed by Softies. That;d be interesting and timely, given Windows Phone 7 phones are set to go on sale in Europe in October and here during the U.S. in November.Mini also suggests that Ballmer or someone in the executive level give employees attending and watching (via Webcast) the meeting some kind of indication as to whether the trickle of ongoing layoffs is finally more than. I recently got a note from a reader who heard about some additional cuts in Microsoft;s partner organization. Microsoft execs have said that this summer;s round of layoffs was while in the hundreds,
Microsoft Office 2007 Key, but the relatively slow pace has made it seem like more.There are always product demos galore at the Microsoft meeting,
Office Pro 2007, some of which occasionally get tweeted or tweferenced to the delight of those of us who can;t watch along from home. I wonder if there will be anything new or interesting shown on the slate front.Any other guesses/thoughts as what Microsoft execs need to and could show and share at this year;s event?
