When analyzing where is Microsoft going, the first thing I like to do is look at the leadership team and see if they are in the news. If so, what are they saying, what is the buzz, and what are they saying to their customers.
Well, Bill Gates is the key icon at Microsoft and he is obviously the person to listen to when it comes to technological innovation that will impact the every day life of the common man. Below are a few speeches he gave targeting Microsoft customers.
- Microsoft Business Solutions Convergence 2005 - San Diego, California - March 9, 2005
- Real-Time Collaboration Web Conference - San Francisco, California - March 8, 2005
- Microsoft Office System Developer Conference - February 4, 2005 - Bill showed hundreds of software developers how Microsoft is using XML, Web services and its Visual Tools suite to evolve the Microsoft Office System as the best possible platform for them to connect workers to information.
