Mountaineer Reaches New Heights with Microsoft Technology | |
|
||
| Time: 09:16 EST/14:16 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
Ed Viesturs has scaled 12 of the 14 tallest mountains in the world -- and he's done it without the use of supplemental oxygen, a mainstay for most high-altitude climbers. Viesturs, who is attempting to become the first American to scale all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter peaks without oxygen, spends months assembling teams of climbers and planning the expeditions. For his attempt in early May on mountain no. 13 -- Annapurna in Nepal -- Viesturs simplified this arduous process by replacing some old methods. Out went the handwritten notes, the fax machine and late-night phone calls to distant lands. In their place, he used his home PC, Office XP and SharePoint Team Services, a Web-based "meeting place" where he and the team could store and share information. And, with Microsoft Producer for PowerPoint 2002 and the www.annapurna2002.com Web site, Viesturs is able to share his experience using audio, video, and images with family, friends and fans. | ||
