MS' Fiscal 2010 game plan: The marketing calendar
At its Worldwide Partner Conference last week, Microsoft shared with its resellers some of its plans for its FY10, a year when it is planning more product launches than any time in its previous history. I've gone through a number of the slide decks presented at the conference and culled some of the slides that might be most helpful for consumers and business users planning to buy new Microsoft wares.
This is a slide showing the company's sales/marketing calendar for its fiscal year, starting in July 2009. November 2009 is the big push month for Win7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010. The sales machine gears up again in early 2010 (Microsoft's fiscal Q3) for SharePoint 2010 and for Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server 2008 R2 in the spring of next year.

I think they didn't talk about WM7 because they still didn't announce it and neither they confirmed that what we expect to be WM7 will be called WM7 so I wouldn't be so sad about it...
