Subject:                 Forum 2000 this Thursday June 22nd

 

Importance:           High

This Thursday we're hosting Forum 2000, our strategy day for key media and analysts. I want to invite all employees to view the event in Windows Media.  Unfortunately, due to limited space, employees will not be able to attend Thursday's Forum 2000 event in person.  

 

At Forum 2000, Bill and I, along with Paul Maritz, Bob Muglia and Rick Belluzzo, will outline the next revolution in the computer industry - a revolution that will offer even greater opportunities and benefits to businesses and consumers around the world. It is a revolution that M?crosöft is uniquely positioned to lead by providing the platform and tools that will meld computing and communications in a new way through the power of advanced software - transforming the Web and every other aspect of the computing experience, and for the first time enabling people and businesses to harness technology on their terms.

 

This is a very exciting day and I hope you get a chance to listen in for some.  Please see details below.

 

Steve
