Microsoft Unlimited Potential |
Microsoft's success is based on our ability to anticipate technology trends and envision how they can be transformed into products, services and business models that create new opportunities for Microsoft, our partner ecosystem and customers, and our local communities. |

Microsoft is a trusted advisor to governments and communities throughout the Gulf on the safe use of technology. We have set up the Microsoft Online Safety Campaign, which aims to create a safe environment for children to use technology and to provide a leadership model for protecting children online globally. |

Microsoft began with a dream of a PC on every desk and in every home. Thirty years ago this seemed impossible. Today, for the more than one billion people we've reached, life has changed profoundly: information is more readily available; connections are more easily made; commerce is more quickly achieved; and success is closer than ever. |

Microsoft Citizenship Gulf
For 30 years, we have had a vision to help people use innovative technology to achieve
sustained social and economic opportunity. So far, we have enabled more than one
billion people worldwide to benefit from Microsoft technology every day. It's great
progress-but there is still much more for us to do.
Five billion people – the vast majority of the world's population still have no
access to technology and the opportunity it offers.
That's why we are expanding and accelerating our long term commitment to bringing
relevant, accessible and affordable technology to those who currently without it.
We are doing this through Microsoft Unlimited Potential, a key pillar of the Citizenship
program. Our first promise is to enable access to technologies for one more billion
people by 2015.
Our other emphasis is on Innovation and Responsible Leadership. We are committed
to leading the way on the issues such as security, online safety and privacy. To
this end, we adopt responsible business practices that promote user choice industry
opportunity and interoperability as well as the highest ethical, employment and
environmental standards.
