Microsoft is in a busy period of software updates
following the release of Vista, the latest version of the Windows
desktop operating system, Office 2007 and the Longhorn server
technology.
The company is also facing new challenges as Linux gains in
popularity and Google offers an alternative approach to software.
Changes Microsoft makes will affect all IT users.
The company also faces the prospect of Bill Gates retiring this
year in July 2008, so all eyes are on the company’s ongoing
software strategy.
