Microsoft during the next 12 to 18 months plans a barrage of announcements unequaled during any period in the company's history, a Microsoft official said on Monday evening.
The product rollouts began this week with the availability of the Office 2007 suite, said Microsoft's Ron Markezich, vice president of managed solutions at Microsoft. It proceeds with the upcoming release of Windows Vista, upgrades to SharePoint and Exchange, and the planned release of the Longhorn version of Windows Server. Also, Microsoft in the first half of 2007 plans to offer a beta version of the upcoming Visual Studio "Orcas" release, said Scott Guthrie, general manager of the Microsoft Developer Division.
"It's the largest launch wave that we've had in the history of the company," Markezich said. Possibly, the launch schedule is the most ambitious in the history of any company around the world, he said.
