"In the last six months of 2007, in the enterprise customer segment alone, more than 300 firms representing 2.8 million people began the move to Exchange Server, Office SharePoint Server and the Office suite," Chris Capossela, corporate vice president in the Microsoft Business Division, said in a statement. "That’s a 164% increase over the same period in 2006 [and] we’re already on track to exceed these numbers in 2008," he added.

Busy times... busy times
