比尔·盖茨在去年11月份的 Mix n Mash 会议时候,曾经这样谈到 Windows Live:
所有那些面对最终用户的服务都是相当的重要的。也许从某种意义上来说,这些服务对于企业自身来讲是个非常小的业务,但是这些服务将联系起众多的用户群,而企业从中所能获取的机遇将会体现服务本身相当的重要性。
很显然地,我们应该创造出更多更新的想法、产品、服务来,让每个人都觉得那就是他们的选择,虽然目前为止这只是个想法而已。但是今天,就事论事的说,包括 .Mac 以及其他一些 eDrive 云存储类的服务只是占有了相当少的市场份额,而且事实上那些服务也并不那么好用。我们的想法是需要提供更多的方法、更丰富的形式连接我们的 Windows ,做点不同凡响的事情。但这需要等到下一次大范围的更新的到来。
All those consumer services are basically big, big volume. They’re tiny businesses in a sense, but they’re very important for the population of users that you connect up to and the opportunities you get out of that.
Some of the things like state in the sky, obviously we want to do a lot more innovation so that everybody just understands that they should use that. Today, no matter whose thing it is, .Mac or the various eDrive cloud store type things, they actually are all pretty small share, they’re kind of messy to use. We think that by the way that we’ll connect up to Windows in a rich way we’ll be able to do something pretty dramatic there, but that awaits the next big wave that comes along.
