Steve Ballmer lays out our Software plus Services announcements and ambitions in an executive email titled A Platform for the Next Technology Revolution. It’s a pretty solid read if you want to know what this S+S thing I rattle on about is all about. He explains it very well, especially the power of choice.
Chris from Liveside said “you’ve done well, pretty much all three sections scream steve clayton” ha ha…
Thanks Steve – a pretty good birthday present for me!
Happy Happy Steve, Hope your having a fab Birthday and all the best for the year ahead. Your blog is so often an inspiration to me, thanks for the education :)

Is it me, or is he offering something that is far more Machine-to-Machine than what more cloud-starers tend to like?
Personally I live the MS S+S strategy and products, however there is a major annoyance for non-US users atm...
I can understand a lot of additional features being available for US customers over Australians, however I don't understand why we can't get little things like background images for Live search? Or why the column dividing Live map directions from the map cannot be resized?
Is there an actual reason why pictures are not being displayed for non-US Live Search users? or is this a simple oversight? I even changed my computer language settings to US English to see if that made a difference, but no... =(
