CEO of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer was in India on 28th May 2010. In his keynote address he spoke about Microsoft’s focus on developing the use of blue tooth technology for supporting interface management in business. Development of hardware and software to provide total solutions, was the theme which he emphasized as being central to innovation for this organization.

The awe stricken audience collected the pearls of wisdom from Ballmer, though there were obvious comparisons between the Steves of the IT world – Ballmer, Jobs and Wozniak.

Managing databases for business applications, content management, enterprise search, business intelligence aimed at arming managers with information to make decisions, were the key objectives as put forward by Ballmer.

Apparently, cloud computing was the corner stone of the submission, which entails within itself server virtualization as the starting point towards providing service options through the software. If it really works out the way it is envisaged, a world of opportunities based on virtual networks would open for both enterprises as well as other customers.

He revealed Microsoft’s plans on launching mobile phones using the new Windows platforms with and without key boards; devices with visual studio for both enterprise as well as individual customers.

Looks like in the tortoise is getting ready to win the race.
