Microsoft continues the marketing efforts and support of Microsoft Partners.  Healthcare will be investing heavily as well and in some areas it might be a matter of "catch up" with IT initiatives...healthcare is making big strides in technology.  Being a Partner myself I can't even avail myself of all the excellent tools available, but do study and entertain all areas where I can fit things in to my schedule.    Look to Microsoft Partners for some of the best health care solutions.  For enterprise customers Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 will play important rolls with IT Enterprise development in the upcoming years.  Windows Mobile is also an important player as most everyone in health care can no longer wait to sit down their desktop PC for valuable information that is needed now.   Server 2008 has some great mobility features that can't be passed up for security and mobility and with the use of mobile units, Tablet PCs and Cell phones, this area is going to do nothing but grow.  BD 

A Microsoft study this week found that the software giant is responsible for generating nearly one out of every two IT jobs worldwide. The study, conducted on behalf of Microsoft by researcher IDC, examined global IT spending and concluded that the company's "ecosystem" of employees and partners will account for some 42 percent of all IT employment worldwide in 2007.

Most recently, California and a slew of other U.S. states this week filed a formal request to extend the oversight of Microsoft's 2002 landmark antitrust settlement until 2012.  During the next four years, IT spending will create 7.1 million new jobs and 100,000 new companies, the report said.

Additionally, spending on software is growing faster than spending on IT overall: 7.9 percent a year between 2007 and 2011, compared to 6.1 percent for all IT spending, the report said.  "The research found that for every $1 that Microsoft earns in 2007, companies working with Microsoft will earn $7.79," the company said.
