| Where
technology meets potential |
 |
| In the past
quarter of a century, Microsoft has grown
from small start-up to Fortune 500 success
by creating innovative software, and working
diligently to help customers realize their
full potential. When you view our company
profile, you'll see examples of the groundbreaking
products and services we're developing for
today's customers and learn about our commitment
to exploring tomorrow's frontiers. |

| Building
for the future |
 |
| To be in the
best position to accelerate these new technologies
as they emerge, we have recently reorganized
our company around seven core businesses.
This new structure streamlines decision-making,
encourages entrepreneurship throughout our
company, and increases collaboration across
groups. In addition, we have embraced a new
corporate mission: to enable people and businesses
throughout the world to realize their full
potential. Propelling this mission are the
values and tenets that have served us well
in the past, and that have been newly articulated
to unify and inspire our people. |

| It's
an exciting time to be at Microsoft |
 |
| One thing we've
learned over our brief history is that nothing
is impossible. Just as people around the world
embraced our original vision of a computer
on every desk and in every home, we are confident
that the future will hold amazing new technologies
that will further enable people and businesses
around the world to realize their full potential
