Web services support not kill software

Web services that are currently provided in conjunction with traditional software will only support more than replace the software industry.

This is the point of view that the new chief software architect Ray Ozzie presented to investors and journalists attended the annual financial analyst meeting held at Microsoft headquarters .

The new chief architect also confirmed that Microsoft is currently in the process of converting its existing software into web services.

" The opportunities offered by the web services industry only contribute to adding and increasing revenue opportunities for the current software business model as well as Microsoft's existing service business model, " Ozzie said.

Microsoft's strategy is to connect a variety of devices to networks to allow users to enjoy information and entertainment sources not only on personal computers and also on mobile phones. , TV and gaming system.

" It is not unreasonable to assume that we contribute to catalyzing the sales of personal computers and other devices, " Ozzie said.

" The trend of providing software as a service on the web " is not only Microsoft's own pursuit, but also the target of many of its competitors such as Salesforce.com , Google as well as goods. Thousands of other new web companies were founded.

But Ozzie's point and some other Microsoft leadership officials believe that the emerging business industry model must be "service-plus software" not "software-as-a-service".

Windows Live - Microsoft's new Internet service platform - will be just a service center that links all of its business software, customer service, and entertainment systems.

"Our live will influence and increase the use of copyrighted software ," Ozzie said, adding that the built-in privacy and security features in Windows Live will play a role. as a bridge to existing Microsoft products and services.

" A fundamental service-oriented transition is a necessary step for all companies in the technology sector ," Ozzie said.
