Microsoft Office 2010 Standard Under the Microsoft

invested a lot of the foremost day on the Purchaser Electronics Demonstrate (CES) on January 8 executing what you'd expect from a full-time Microsoft watcher: Meeting with Microsoft execs under the Microsoft press tent; touring the Vista hardware showcase; and wading through the crowds in the giant Microsoft booth on the indicate floor. to getting to check out protoypes from the new Windows Home Server reference systems, I had a chance to chat with officials on the Vista,Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007, Windows Mobile, Windows Live and Smart Personal Object Technology (SPOT) teams. its partners are showing off some in the new PCs and UMPCs (Ultramobile PCs) from Sony, Lenovo, Toshiba,Office 2010 Pro Key, Hewlett-Packard,Office 2007 Ultimate Key, Voodoo and other partners in the hardware pavillion. general manager of Windows product management, reminded me that 70 to 80 percent of new PCs (caveat: from major U.S. vendors) preloaded with a version of Windows are currently preloaded with Windows Media Center Edition. Boettcher said he expects that trend to continue with Vista, meaning that the vast majority of new PCs preloaded with Vista will ship with Vista Home Premium or Vista Ultimate. Mobile team had no new news to share — just a reiteration that the first Windows Mobile "Crossbow" devices should hit in the second half of 2007. with the Windows Live team: No new news at CES. I did, however, get to see Windows Live Search's Mrs. Dewey in the flesh – but fully clothed — in the Windows Live booth.
SPOT team is still alive and kicking. Again,Microsoft Office 2010 Standard, not much new news to share at CES. But team member Colin Miller, director with the .Net Mobile Framework, explained to me that the unit is executing more than simply cutting deals with embedded device makers to feature the SPOT operating system inside their offerings. The SPOT team also is working on what it expects to be the eventual successor to Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) — Web services for devices — said Miller. My favorite quote of CES Day 1: "The Bellagio just made my day,Office Enterprise 2007 Key! There's even Ethernet in the bathroom!" — one on the bloggers over with the PodTech/Seagate Bloghaus.
