The very interface you see is driving off role-based definitions, with a richer connection to Office than any application in the past. And we will make extensibility capabilities available broadly.
The arrival of lots of low-cost microprocessors (and) the ability to connect those together with a fairly high-speed data network has led to an exciting new way of thinking about running these high-end applications,
We are entering a digital decade where smart, connected devices and advanced home-entertainment solutions will enable people to utilize technology in new ways and maximize its full potential.
The average consumer lives in a world of more digital content and information than ever before. Windows Vista will make personal computing more useful, powerful, connected and fun, redefining both how we use computers in our homes and how we are entertained.
