Today at the Office XP product launch, Bill Gates, Microsoft Corp.'s chairman and chief software architect, explained how Office XP delivers the next generation of productivity advancements by enabling people to easily unlock hidden knowledge. Gates showcased Office XP innovations such as smart tags, SharePoint™ Team Services and XML integration that will enable people to capture, locate and harness hidden knowledge and greatly boost productivity. Gates was joined on stage by Amazon.com Inc. founder and CEO Jeff Bezos and Ford Motor Co. CIO Marv Adams. He demonstrated how their companies, along with United Parcel Service of America Inc. (UPS), and LexisNexis are already taking advantage of Office XP to enable their employees and customers to revolutionize how they access and use information. Office XP is broadly available in retail stores today in 15 countries, and will be shown to hundreds of thousands of people attending more than 100 Office XP launch events around the world.
