AMTeam.org消息：微软于2005年11月1日宣布了一项新的活动，旨在通过因特网提供更多的软件和服务。
微软主席比尔·盖茨和软件服务业一直以来的先锋人物、最近加入微软的Ray Ozzie说，Windows
Live和Office
Live给用户带来的功能与微软这两个最盈利的产品基本相同，只是不需要用户在自己的电脑硬件上安装和储存软件。
该项公告是在旧金山的新闻招待会上宣布的，揭示了微软把注意力集中到因特网的决心和程度有多大，以应对诸如Google和Salesforce公司这些主机服务和软件服务新秀们带来的挑战，这些公司大部分的盈利都来自广告出售和订阅服务。
但是，微软的官员们强调，他们还没有准备完全放弃软件包模式，该模式已经为公司作出了巨大的贡献。
“这些都是Office或者Windows的自然组成部分，但是不会取代它们。”盖茨说。

NOVEMBER 01, 2005 (COMPUTERWORLD) - SAN FRANCISCO -- Microsoft Corp.
today took the wraps off a new initiative through which it aims to deliver more
of its software and services over the Internet.
Windows Live and Office Live
will give users much of the functionality of the company抯 two most profitable
products but without requiring them to install and maintain the software on a
computer hard drive, said Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and Ray Ozzie, a
longtime software services pioneer who recently joined Microsoft.
The announcement, made at a
news event in San Francisco, underscores how much Microsoft has turned its
attention toward the Internet and the challenge offered by hosted,
software-as-a-service upstarts such as Google Inc. and Salesforce.com Inc.,
which make most of their revenues from selling ads or subscriptions.
Still, Microsoft officials
emphasized they are not yet ready to completely abandon the packaged software
model that has served the company so well.
揟hese are natural complements
to Office or Windows, but they don抰 replace them,?Gates said.
