"Some other vendors sell against integration," he wrote. "We see and deliver unique customer value because of integration."

oops... MS = integração?

Ballmer said Microsoft needs to focus on "strengthening the customer value in our end-to-end technology platform--client and server operating systems, client and server applications, and programming tools--which all integrate seamlessly and scale from the enterprise to the desktop to wireless mobile devices. These systems are better for users, developers and IT people because of the common architecture for development tools, management, application schema, interoperability, identity, data, etc."

ah bom! integração deles com eles...

Ballmer also touted Longhorn, the much-anticipated successor to Windows XP that will dramatically change file management and other basic aspects of PC operation.

"Longhorn is our big bet on galvanizing the next big breakthrough--even bigger, perhaps, than the first generation Windows release," he wrote. "Virtually everything we're doing from a product standpoint will accrue to the Longhorn wave. In addition to the Longhorn client, there will be a Longhorn version of Office, Longhorn server enhancements, Longhorn development tools, and a Longhorn version of MSN."
