Those are some exciting developments from Microsoft! With Q1 2011 earnings scheduled on October 28 and a Redmond-based Professional Developers Conference on the 28th and 29th, it's clear that Microsoft is putting its cards on the table for both investors and developers. The simultaneous launch of Office 2011 for Mac and the release candidate for Windows 7 Service Pack 1 highlights their commitment to a dual strategy—bolstering their software lineup across different platforms. On the Mac side, introducing a full-fledged Office suite is a smart play to capture a market that traditionally leaned towards Apple's native productivity solutions. Meanwhile, the updates in Windows 7, with the upcoming service pack, show that Microsoft is dedicated to refining and securing its flagship OS in the post-windows XP era.
