QOTD: And It’s Called Microsoft Bobbi …

Microsoft has had a similar capability in Windows Phones for more than a year, since Windows Phone 7 was introduced.

Good thing Microsoft missed the train on tablets. Because it turns out the things don’t have much longevity. In fact, the age of the tablet PC, which Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates heralded a decade ago and Apple only recently ushered in, is already drawing to a close. This according to Craig Mundie, Microsoft’s chief research and strategy officer, who’s not sure tablets have much of a future.

Microsoft had its annual Financial Analyst Meeting at its Redmond, Wash. campus yesterday, where BoomTown liveblogged the morning and afternoon sessions with the software giant’s top execs. And, because it is Microsoft, there were lots and lots of slides to look at, which are all after the jump.

Liveblogging Microsoft's Financial Analyst Meeting (Morning Session): It's a Beautiful Day?

Kara Swisher in News on July 29, 2010 at 8:24 am PT

BoomTown took the corporate All Things Digital jet–aka Virgin America, seat 10A–up to Redmond, Wash., today to attend Microsoft’s annual Financial Analyst Meeting, which also includes a passel of media drones like me. I liveblogged the event all day, which was essentially a cavalcade of top execs from the software giant taking the stage and showing off their wares. Before it started, U2′s “Beautiful Day” was playing over the sound system, which it was not up here in the Pacific Northwest this morning–it was kind of cold and gloomy, a la “Twilight”–but hopefully sparkly for Microsoft execs.

While Microsoft COO Kevin Turner did a kind of modified cheerleading act at Microsoft’s annual Financial Analyst Meeting, Entertainment and Devices President Robbie Bach played the teenage boy and Chief Research and Strategy Officer Craig Mundie the voice from the future. It included Bach playing ball with Microsoft’s new motion-sensing, controllerless Project Natal and Mundie introducing a very creepy digital assistant with more than a passing resemblance to HAL from “2001: A Space Odyssey.”

Microsoft's Financial Analyst Meeting Today: Billion-Dollar Belly Flop With a Side of Yahoo

Kara Swisher in News on July 30, 2009 at 7:59 am PT

The fun never stops at Microsoft, it seems. Well, not fun–more like a long march of khaki-clad Softies. They will be on display bright and early this morning at the company’s annual Financial Analyst Meeting, a cavalcade of top execs at the tech giant blabbing away. Big topics? I am interested in the recent billion-dollar revenue miss in earnings and, of course, more details about the Yahoo search deal. BoomTown will be there covering it in person, natch!

Obama, Schmidt, Mundie: The Fellowship of the Pings

John Paczkowski in News on April 28, 2009 at 4:55 am PT

Back in 2005, Google was represented in Washington by a lone staffer. The company’s political innocence was something of a joke among seasoned beltway players and it didn’t much seem to care. Google was far too busy organizing the world’s information to pay attention to Washington. How quickly things changed. By 2007, the company’s Washington lobbyists numbered about 12. And now, two years later, Google CEO Eric Schmidt has been named by President Obama to his Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
