Purchase Office 2007 What's Microsoft hiding in it

For those who;ve been questioning what Microsoft;s Software+Services technique is for its Windows Mobile platform, the solution need to turn out to be a good deal clearer in one more couple weeks.There have already been several leaks during the previous 12 months about Skybox, Skyline and Skymarket — Microsoft;s cloud-based service complements to cellular phones. Microsoft is set to take the wraps off these three solutions at the Cellular World Congress conference in Barcelona in mid-February.I;m not sure about the extent to which the company is planning to share its mobile-services roadmap later this month. But,Office 2007 Standard Key, thanks to some well-connected sources who;ve asked to remain anonymous,Purchase Office 2007, I have some details (on which Microsoft isn;t commenting).The most interesting member of the new Microsoft cellular trio, Skybox, is a hub for user data and information — a place for storing and accessing photos, contact lists, calendar items and a lot more on Microsoft datacenter servers. In the event you lose or switch your phone, all your data and contacts are saved in your Skybox. Skybox is based on the Mobicomp synchronization technologies that the Redmondians acquired when they purchased the Portuguese providers company Mobicomp in the summer of 2008.Skybox, version of 1.0 of which will go to beta in mid-February, according to sources, will be free for customers, thanks to an ad-supported Web portal. Users will be able to back-up and restore their data; manage content; and share that content with other users.By summer 2009, Microsoft is planning to field the 1.5 version of the Skybox service, sources said. The 1.5 release will come in two flavors, if Microsoft sticks to its current plan: a free Skybox standard service and a subscription-based Skybox premium service. The 1.5 service will be available on Windows Mobile 6.1, 6.5 and a select couple of non-Windows-Mobile phones.Skybox Version 2.0 is where things get even more involved — and,Windows 7 64bit, if Microsoft can meet its goals — far more integrated with other Microsoft properties.Skybox 2.0 is designed to allow users to manage their mobile devices from the Web; they will be able to change ringtones, backgrounds and manage their mobile apps,Microsoft Office 2007 Pro Plus, music and video all from the cloud, sources said. Version 2.0 will integrate with Skymarket, providing users with a way to buy and store applications and application data on remote servers. Supposedly, with Skybox 2.0, Microsoft also figures out how to integrate Windows Live solutions and Live Mesh with Skybox.(Why you;d still want other existing Microsoft providers like Live Mesh,Windows 7 32bit, SkyDrive and Live Sync — the service formrly called Windows Live FolderShare — in addition to Skyline is not clear to me. The entire idea behind Skybox 2.0 is to make your file and data sharing between your PCs, other devices and phones seamless. I thought that was the goal of Live Mesh, too….)Skybox 2.0 seems to become running on the same schedule as Windows Mobile 7. (More to come on what that schedule is looking like. Stay tuned. Here;s what sources are saying, re: the latest WinMobile ship-date schedule.)Back to the big Sky picture. Skymarket is Microsoft;s equivalent to Apple;s iphone App Store. The second piece of the puzzle, Skyline, is a way to push your e-mail, contacts and calendar for both work and personal accounts to your cellular device. The Skyline service is aimed primarily at small-business/home-office workers who don;t have a way to handle managed e-mail at the moment.What are your first impressions of Microsoft;s Skybox gameplan?Update (February 6): It looks like Microsoft is going to make the real name for “Skybox” be “My Phone.”
