Ballmer: High-end Windows, Office coming
Awesome! Microsoft certainitly knows the future of computing and its refreshing to hear that they will be keeping up with the times and the future. A new IIS will be awesome. Also making premium services and additions to its products is good news. It means if I don't need extra features I don't have to get them. Just like XP home, it does what I need when at home. It almost sounds like Microsoft is ready to bring the future to us now. But I have to eagerly wait until these products are released, damn the luck.
