about Microsoft

Over the last three decades, Microsoft has consistently transformed the way that people live, work, play and connect through great technology.

 

Microsoft are driving advances in cloud computing, developing new ways for people to interact with technology at home, at work and on the move, while transforming education and public services.

about Windows Phone

Microsoft provides powerful platforms for building innovative solutions. Windows Phone is the successor to Windows Mobile and an elegant operating system that is very different from the current trend toward app-focused phones. It provides active and configurable interface elements called tiles that update on the fly with real information, allowing users to place the tiles that interest them most where they want on their Start screen.

 

Facebook photos, music and contacts are pulled into the phone and distributed appropriately across Hubs. It also brings together many of Microsoft’s popular offerings from other platforms, including Xbox, Zune, Office and Bing.
