Microsoft Office 2007 Product Key Microsoft chops

Microsoft is cutting prices of its Microsoft-hosted Exchange, too as its suite of organization companies (recognized because the Organization Productivity Internet Suite, or BPOS), and is also refunding the distinction to existing hosting buyers.Microsoft is cutting its Exchange On the web pricing from $10 per consumer per month to $5 per consumer each month. It also is cutting the price of the BPOS bundle — which includes SharePoint Online, Exchange Via the internet, Communications On-line and Live Meeting — from $15 per person per month, to $10 per user monthly.Microsoft is leaving the pricing for its Deskless Worker versions of its hosted On the web offerings the same. Exchange On the internet Deskless Worker and SharePoint Over the internet Deskless Worker remain $2 per user each month. The bundle with the two Deskless Worker offerings stays at $3 per user monthly.Not surprisingly, Microsoft officials didn;t attribute the price cut to competition from Google Apps or other hosted offerings. Instead, they attributed the cuts to “rapid customer adoption, global scale and improved efficiencies from new software such as Exchange Server 2010″ (according to the press release).Microsoft is making BPOs available in 15 new countries before the end of the year. Later this week, BPOS will be commercially available in Singapore; trials are slated to begin in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Israel, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, Puerto Rico, Romania and Taiwan. Commercial availability in India is also expected later this year, officials said.Microsoft officials are now claiming to have more than 1 million paying users for Microsoft;s Internet family of companies (not counting Live Meeting, for which there are many more paying buyers, according to enterprise officials). Newly signed BPOS customers include Hofstra University, Lions Gate Entertainment,Microsoft Office 2007 Product Key, McDonald’s Corporation, Rexel Group, Swedish Red Cross and Tyco Flow Control.Microsoft will be adding a paid, Microsoft-hosted version of Office Internet Apps — the Webified versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote– to its On the net stable next year. Organization officials have said that paid offering will also be available to Microsoft volume-license customers so that they can host Office Internet Apps themselves, on-premises, instead of or furthermore to allowing Microsoft to host it for them. There will be additional (and, as yet, still unannounce) features that will be part of the paid Office Net Apps offering that aren;t part of the free, ad-funded version.Microsoft is currently rolling out refreshes to its On line family of services every 90 days or so, according to Ron Markezich, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft On the web. Some with the new features the company is rolling out to its on-premises software — such as Exchange 2010 — are debuting in the hosted, Online offerings before they are available to customers as server-based products. (The final Exchange 2010 software bits are slated to go to consumers starting next week.)I;m sure Microsoft buyers will be upbeat about the price cuts for Microsoft;s hosted offerings. But I;d think Redmond;s partners who are trying to make money from selling Microsoft;s hosted providers (if not their own hosted version of Microsoft;s wares) might be less enthusiastic…
