Seems that our friends in upstate Washington are working hard to get back to track of lost glory. Off the late I started liking their products and more importantly their strategy and innovation they are working on.. all these news seems to be good for all the consumers both retail and enterprise. As long as they don't fumble Windows8 as they did Vista, they should be golden.
Across the board I am hearing good news.. on cloud side I heard that their new hypervisor (Hyper-V) product is really good and finally it is ready to compete with VMware.. Their Cloud drive seems to be great. Windows8 looks promising.. Windows Mobile phone with Nokia is doing well.. So if everything falls back properly, they should be back to good growth after long time..

It looks as if fall could be a very busy season for Microsoft. The software maker appears poised to release Office for iPad and Android tablets and an Outlook Web app for iOS this fall, according to reports.
Although officially Microsoft has no comment, reports have surfaced that the full suite of Office apps will have a November release, according to website BGR. And the app is said to look almost identical to the leaked images from a few months ago, according to BGR’s source. The source also claimed the app’s loading screen read “Office for iOS,” suggesting iPhone and iPod Touch could have the software in their future as well. The App Store may see yet another Microsoft offering ahead of it. An Outlook app known as “OWA Mobile Client for iOS” is reportedly in the works for devices running iOS 5 or later, according to AppleInsider.
Microsoft is currently planning for both Outlook Web App and the new Lync to debut on the iOS App Store before the end of October, a person familiar with the upcoming software revealed. Both will be native iOS applications that render Web content with the same tiled Metro user interface style that can be found on Windows Phone.
