Microsoft Pakistan announced the business availability of the Windows Vista™ operating system, the 2007 Microsoft Office system and Exchange Server 2007, recently at a local hotel in Karachi. Designed to enable businesses to thrive in a world of instant communication, expanding information and constant change, the
new products provide a platform that will transform the way
people turn information into opportunity and growth. According to Mr Kamal Ahmed, Country Manager, Microsoft Pakistan, the new versions of Windows, the Office release and Exchange Server are the result of an unprecedented collaboration between Microsoft and its customers. “During testing, customers from around the world downloaded more than five million beta versions of the three products and provided valuable feedback and suggestions,” he told.The products also provide the core platform that will enable businesses to take advantage of the benefits of Internet-based software
services. All three products incorporate key XML and Web services technologies that will help companies tap into online services and select the mix of on-premise and hosted applications to deliver the right balance of control, convenience, cost-effectiveness and security while helping increase productivity. “During the last
decade, Windows 95 and Office 95 transformed the way people work,” said Kamal Ahmed. “These three new products are the most advanced work that Microsoft has ever done, and I believe they signal the beginning of a new wave of innovation that will have an even more profound impact during the next decade.”
