Microsoft Corp. is split into seven business units. Here's a look at the divisions and some of their main products. Client: Microsoft's Windows software is by far the dominant desktop operating system with more than 90 percent market share. The company is working on a new version, codenamed Longhorn. Information Worker: Microsoft's Office suite of software and other business applications. Microsoft is slated to release a new version of Office this year. Profits from the Client and Information Worker segments fuel much of the company's investments. But analysts said Microsoft faces the challenge of proving to customers that the new versions will be worth the cost of upgrading.
