Thanks to Windows Vista's new enhancements to search technology, users can now find anything on their computers and the Internet, quickly and easily.

Live icons mean users can quickly preview documents and go directly to the items they need, without the hassle of navigating complex file menus.

Revolutionary new search folders give a variety of quick and easy ways to find and organise documents based on the information they contain rather than the file name - no matter where they're located on your computer.

With the 2007 Office system and Exchange Server 2007, users can now also search for information from their desktop and from within web clients such as Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access. They can also use mobile devices for quick access to valuable information - anytime, anywhere. We have also integrated innovative tools for searching e-mail, handwriting, graphics and audio recordings with electronic notebooks.

At Microsoft, we recognise that business insight is valuable to all employees, from executives on down, so we've also included business intelligence tools within many of the programs. We've even included personalised 'report centres,' scorecards, dashboards, personalised portal sites and server-based spreadsheets.

It's now easier to access data from key corporate systems from within the Microsoft Office environment. With a new Business Data Catalogue and Microsoft Office Open XML Formats and with Exchange Server 2007, web services can be used to integrate access to e-mail, calendar, contacts and other inbox data with your organisation's business and service-oriented applications.
