What Do You Want from Microsoft in 2007?
>> From microsoft-watch.com:
[QUOTE]
While others look into their crystal balls and make 2007 predictions, Microsoft Watch readers make crystal clear what they want from the software giant next year.
For 2007, Roland Crawford, an IT manager from Jamaica, wants "VOIP from Microsoft" and "SMS integration with more platforms." Microsoft is set to fulfill Crawford's requests with new versions of Exchange Server and Live Communications Server.
Abe Touset, with Dudes Unlimited, in Margate, Fla., uses his Pocket PC handheld like a portable computer. But he finds that hardware limitations limit usability. "Microsoft should recommend manufacturers to upgrade their video memory above the 2MB point, maybe 8MB or more, for better graphics and game play," he said.
His request may not be so hard to fulfill, based on where Microsoft is going with Windows CE 6.0.
"I want a device--one device--that is a Zune, a PDA and an Xbox portable," said Mugunth Kumar, a software design engineer for General Electric in India. "The device should be capable of running .NET Framework 2.0 applications. It should also be capable of booting a Windows machine through USB and also act as an external storage media. It should have a disk space of at least 100GB."
The device Kumar wants may manifest in next-generation Ultra-Mobile PCs or Microsoft's rumored handheld game console. Given that Microsoft pegged the same folks for Zune as Xbox and that Zune can beam music to Xbox 360, my money would be on the rumored portable gaming device. In 2007? I'll predict, yes.
