Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer: Cloud computing will play an important role in enterprises need to master the opportunity

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told CEO summit that the future of cloud computing will play an important role in the business and must take the initiative.
At the annual Microsoft meeting, Mr. Ballmer told some 125 executives and other leaders here that major technological changes are not happening often, but "you have to be fully committed when the real big changes come." "We're all going through a big change right now," he said. ”

The guests who listened to Mr. Ballmer's lectures at the stage included CEOs of well-known companies, such as Http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/2467.html ">amazon Jeff Bezos and Berkshire Hathaway Buffett, as well as other heavyweight leaders, including US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Queen Rania of Jordan (Jordan ' s Queen Rania Al Abdullah).

The cloud-computing speech was not Shizhini, especially since Ballmer announced in a speech at the University of Washington in March that Microsoft would be "fully committed" to cloud computing. Microsoft is actively transforming all server products – and partly desktop software – into services, offering customers a choice other than traditional software. Microsoft has also developed Windows Azure, which is advertised as a cloud version of the operating system.

As in previous years, this year's event was not open to the media and the general public, but Mr. Ballmer's keynote speech was streamed through the Internet. Microsoft has been hosting CEO summit annual meetings since 1997.

Ballmer also talked about the pitfalls of too early putting new technology and upgrading products too long. For example, he points out that Microsoft's move to Vista from Windows XP took five years, not the wrong idea, but the Longhorn plan, which was so ambitious, that it had to start from scratch before it finally launched Vista.
