LAUNCH: Microsoft will mark the latest delivery on their promise of "People Ready Software" next month with the simultaneous launching of three fabulous and much looked forward to products Windows Vista, 2007 Microsoft Office and Windows Exchange server 2007.

The launch, potentially the largest and most strategic in Microsoft history, will be meaningful to virtually all 500 million personal computer users across the world. This milestone marks the first time in the software giant's history that it will refresh its desktop operating system, server and exchange within the same year.

The new versions of Windows, Office and Exchange Server 2007 ware guided by real life usage and scenarios during their development phase - working in partnership with their customers, Microsoft used feedback from million of volunteers involved in 1 billion user sessions to fine tune the product offerings.

The test phase of the new products also saw unprecedented collaboration with customers - 5 million customers around the world downloaded beta versions of the products and sent in their feedback and suggestions to Microsoft.

Early adopters of the new products have seen instant results and expect dramatic gains in productivity through capabilities that address core business issues in new ways.

A Capgemini study commissioned by Microsoft said "Companies" we've talked to are looking at driving major revenue increases, improved responsiveness to customers, and improved sales team win rates with the 2007 Microsoft Office system.

The early adopters have realised cost savings through process workflow automation, easier access to information, improved collaboration with colleagues, and lower costs of compliance. It's all about creating better customer connections and empowering you people at less cost and with greater effectiveness."

The capabilities of the new products were designed to reflect Microsoft's belief that people are the driving force behind business success.

Essentially, the products focus on simplifying how people work together, finding information and improving business insights, helping protect and manage content and increasing security and helping to reduce IT costs.

Deploying the products together will fundamentally change the way companies get value from business information, enabling companies to gain critical advantages in how their people build profitable relationships with customers, spearhead new innovations and drive business success.
