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.
The opportunity to engage people who are very far away from each other and yet might have interesting information is better here than has ever been possible.
The vision is really that in the information age the microprocessor-based machine, the PC, along with great software, can become sort of the ultimate tool dealing with not just text, but numbers and pictures, and eventually, even difficult things lik
The vision is really about empowering workers, giving them all the information about what's going on so they can do a lot more than they've done in the past.
As people see how we've broken down the boundaries between Office and the Internet; as they see how we let them share information ... the things we've done with e-mail, the things we've done with the recovery capabilities, they'll see that this is a very big launch of Office,
I'd be as bold as to say that over the next three years the majority of companies will decide that having streaming media for the information they share internally and externally will be of critical importance,
We need to make it easier for people to visualize information that comes from different directions,
There's a basic philosophy here that by empowering...workers you'll make their jobs far more interesting, and they'll be able to work at a higher level than they would have without all that information just a few clicks away.
It's on 24 hours a day, it's the gateway and it's the main conductor of information, ... It's really a center for all the information and will make it a lot easier.
It's a concept that in the past might have been thought of as an executive information system that was just for a few top people, ... It'd take millions of dollars to set up, the system would be hard-wired, and it would provide only a subset of data. Today, in literally minutes you can add data and status reports and your personal digital dashboard will update that.
That information essentially will be magically stored on the Internet itself, ... With any device, once you prove who you are with a pass card or a smart card, the things you care about, (such as) e-mail, bookmarks . . . will appear on that device, but in the way that matters to you.
Finding information is either a software question or a question of how much information is online.
How you gather, manage and use information will determine whether you win or lose.
Being flooded with information doesn't mean we have the right information or that we're in touch with the right people.
