If you look at Microsoft's two biggest businesses, Windows and Office, they don't have an obvious Web 2.0 play. But the server and tools business at Microsoft has a vested interested in making Web 2.0 work, and they have a strategy to do it.

Microsoft's server and tools unit has proved they can take something like Web 2.0 and make it easier to program for. It has a very viable business model there.

It would have been a very tight squeeze. If they were going to miss Christmas, there just wasn't a good reason to push it for 2006.

I think it's a good decision. They can't afford to cut any more features to make a 2006 date. The features that need the most testing, frankly, are enterprise features related to the core of the product, like user account control and how it will lock down services to make them less vulnerable to a worm. Things like that fundamentally change the way Windows works, and they couldn't really back out of them.

Microsoft is going to feel the pain: over 80 percent of desktop Windows are through sales of new PCs.

Windows Vista is on the final approach. Microsoft needed to take some early steps to start thinking about the next version.

There were political problems and technical problems. The two divisions have different business incentives, and the company, knowingly or unknowingly, set up a situation where their business incentives were not the same as their technology incentives.

They needed a very senior engineer who could knock heads together when disputes arose and had backing from senior management. Steve is really tailor-made for the job.

If he can discover some kind of service on top of word processing that helps people work with one another over the Web, then he may be on to something.

I think they're going to announce business-focused services that are complements to Microsoft's software. I think at the [July] financial analyst meeting, [executives] said clearly they saw it as a viable business.... Outside vendors are proving it's a viable business.

Microsoft is maturing, and they really need marketing and sales people at the top, but I am not sure employees want to hear [that].

a matter of concern.

Microsoft sees software as a service as a part-answer to the maturing software market.

There was a perception that a major change had to happen.

Microsoft's engineers have been griping about too much bureaucracy, and this reorganization runs counter to it. It is bound to cause some discussion among employees as you are essentially putting a business manager on top of a very technical group.
