Microsoft Corp. plans to introduce a number of new versions for Windows and Office, including an enterprise version of the upcoming Windows Vista and a premium version of Office 12, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said at the company"s annual financial analyst meeting here on Thursday.
These new SKUs will come in at a higher price point and will help drive growth in that traditional business segment. Along with those new versions will come a new Premium Client Access License for both Windows and Office. "Our product pipeline over the next six months is strong and will also, over the next year, double that of the past three years. I refer to this as Moore"s Law of product innovation," Ballmer quipped.
