Productivity Re-Imagined
Today, Microsoft Business Division President Stephen Elop unveiled Microsoft’s vision for how we re-imagine productivity in our daily lives. In his speech you’ll see Stephen communicate the latest ideas and technical aspirations from across the company. It’s an exciting day as we go public with this vision and we hope you will take a moment to watch the speech.
 

 
Over the last year we’ve worked closely with partners, customers and R&D groups across Microsoft. So what will you see? You’ll see technology becoming more invisible, but working harder for you in both your work and personal life. Imagine a future where creating a document with a colleague will be as easy as having a conversation. Making connections with people and your content will be secure and seamless. Relevant insight and information will be delivered proactively and in context to the task at hand.
 
Mobile devices will be more powerful than desktop computers of today. Technology will connect you with the information you need, when and where you need it, whether it be your local coffee shop, an airport, or a roof top in Hong Kong. Software will be there to make getting things done as efficiently as possible in new ways that are more natural.
 
We are already exploring many of these concepts… check out our envisioning and concept test experiments that begin to explore how we are working to make this future a reality.

OK, I will write once more.
I think you guys are great about technology, but something is missing. Probably it is about mind set and business model.
You guys are great in making all kinds of tools to help us live and work better. By "us", I mean IT guys like you and me.
How about the rest? They do not care about the tools. Instead of something which could help them get things done, they want something already done for them, better pushed to them automatically.
You might think "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach him to fish and feed him for a life time", but most of your customers would like to have fish only for a few days. Understand what I am say?
I am not sure whether Apple understand it, but they are doing something close.

If you are serious about improving productivity

Two Suggestions

1. Get rid of the ribbon, if I wanted to use a Mac I'd buy one.
 
2. Make excel compatible with prior versions. Its sad when you can't even copy and paste information to a new spreadsheet. Its costing us big bucks to rewrite everything.
