Supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation (Grant No. CNS-0753686), NIC is currently in the fi rst stage of what is planned as a multi-phase project that aims to improve the image of computer science among high school students (with a special focus on gender and ethnic disparities) and encourage greater participation in computer science at the postsecondary level. Working with experienced marketing professionals, the NIC initiative seeks to: 1 understand the attitudes held by high school students toward the study of computing in college and potential computing careers; 2 create a set of market-tested messages that resonate with young people, accurately and positively represent the fi eld, and reshape the way computer science is portrayed to and perceived by young people; 3 conduct a pilot campaign using the tested messages. This pilot will assess strategies for how the messages can be used in a variety of ways to reach young people in their communities; 4 build a coalition of partners (computing organizations, universities, high school educators, and others) to adopt the messages and spread the word about the rewards and benefi ts of a career in computer science in honest, positive, and unifi ed ways; and 5 evaluate the results.

    TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS, CUSTOMERS, PARTNERS AND EMPLOYEES: This is a unique letter for me – the last shareholder letter I will write as the CEO of the company I love. We have always believed that technology will unleash human potential and that is why I have come to work every day with a heart full of passion for more than 30 years. Fiscal Year 2013 was a pivotal year for Microsoft in every sense of the word. Last year in my letter to you I declared a fundamental shift in our business to a devices and services company. This transformation impacts how we run the company, how we develop new experiences, and how we take products to market for both consumers and businesses. This past year we took the first big bold steps forward in our transformation and we did it while growing revenue to $77.8 billion (up 6 percent). In addition, we returned $12.3 billion (up 15 percent) to shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases. While we were able to grow revenue to a record level, our earnings results reflect investments as well as some of the challenges of undertaking a transformation of this magnitude. With this as backdrop, I’d like to summarize where we are now and where we’re headed, because it helps explain why I’m so enthusiastic about the opportunity ahead. Our strategy: High-value activities enabled by a family of devices and services We are still in the early days of our transformation, yet we made strong progress in the past year launching devices and services that people love and businesses need.

    Frown: Steven Sinofsky Sent: Friday. May 01, 1998 11:33 PM To: Bob Muglia (Exdnange); Jon D~Vaan Subject: Monday Meeting: Polar server issues I’ve spent the bulk of this week dealing with folks on the issue of Polar (now, unfortunately, Office Server). This mail is my suggestion for moving forward. The current problems are Lhreefold I believe: ¯ As currentty defined, the problem is essentially "produce a SKU". Although people can come up with many product visions around the SKU, the paramount importance is being applied to it being a SKU and it being available. Despite the disagreement ! have with this, I’ll take it as a given.. .... vi ¯ There are too many groups that think they are working on various eements of th~s problem (ODE/Ka , SiteServer/1.onKauf, BackOffice/?, and our tiny teampages project got dragged in as well). As such, the project lacks any formal structure which could reinforce the first goal. A first step would be assigning a traditional triad to work on this (dev mgr, test mgr, gpm). As a note there are a bunch of other teams that think this is their "turf" such as teamserver (which is really duplicated a lot of stuff). The current plans suffer in two dimensions: lack of relevant customer input and a lack of defining and building any substantial asset. Having multiple groups working on this is a real problem since each is approaching it, with limited information, from a very different perspective and the thoughts do not add up. The ODE has sort of evolved into a new variant of a Hessage Queue that doesn’t really use HTTP (as I understand it).
