CEO Steve Ballmer lays out Microsoft’s Software plus Services strategy at the Microsoft partner show and announced that Microsoft is due to have Microsoft SQL Server 2008 out in August. Ballmer concludes in his speech for business partners in Houston that Microsoft has sold 140 million Vista licenses and gained 100 millon SharePoint users. Furthermore, Microsoft has replaced 4.7 Lotus Notes seats. Microsoft is moving towards the cloud and my company is a very good example of a company that does not have servers at all. We live in a virtual world and I just retired our last Dell server a couple of months ago with a fanfare. All of our business is in the cloud, everything from accounting, collaboration, email telephony. This is a real true wake-up call for traditional Microsoft Classic partners. Get on the bandwagon of cloud computing or face the instinction in the long run.
