Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer dance beat on the morning of the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference (PDC), but must share a few bits of news.Microsoft Internet Explorer is losing market share in recent years, but the company has high expectations for the next version, IE9. In particular, better support for HTML 5, a new standard for creating interactive applications (the way things are currently done with Flash).
IU head Hachamovich Dean says, "with full hardware acceleration, HTML5 is like a program." It also showed a series of demonstrations to show their position and announced a new platform for downloading and installing pre-release, if you're interested, there is. (You will need Windows Vista or XP does not support -. 7) Based on the previous release dates, the final version should be a time next spring.
Ballmer also talked about Windows Mobile 7, and cried when he observed that all participants would pay a PDC phone free to try yet announced. The company has shown a number of applications of 7 phones, including one from Amazon.com, which has just unveiled its shops around IPAD earlier this week.
Microsoft has improved its position in a cloud of long-promised feature for Windows Azure application hosting.
The enhancements make it easier for developers already have server-based applications on Windows Azure move. In essence, Azure will allow developers to easily virtual machines and their applications to create the port, and not specifically to build Azure. Amazon Web Services provides a similar function for over a year, so this is a great void that needs filling Azure competitive. (Details are in this Word document.)
Azure is not a big impact on Microsoft's profits next year, but eventually became one billion U.S. $ business in line with the Visual Studio development tools to grow.
Although there are no dancing monkeys, Ballmer said that some "blah blah blah" has to offer, are a form of dismissal that he thinks the criticism is invalid.
