  UPDATED: Microsoft keeps low profile at conference
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Todd Richardson

Thanks Ken. It's no secret that technology conferences have been short on attendance these days. But it seemed like more than just a sign of the times when Microsoft failed to field a booth at the Streaming Media West conference here this week--especially since the software big-leaguer has been relentlessly pushing its latest, greatest (and as yet unreleased) media technology, Corona.

After "long and hard" discussions, Microsoft decided in recent weeks that it did not have the funds to exhibit this year, according to Carl Pugh, president of Internet Events for Penton Media, producer of the Streaming Media West and Internet World joint conference. "Also, they did acknowledge that timing of new product releases played a role in the decision." But Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft, which has participated in Internet World since 1993, said the timing of the conference itself was behind its decision.
