Tomorrow is the closing day of Computex Taipei 2007 and a fair conclusion about Microsoft's presence there is that the Redmond Company managed to get lost and keep a low profile. Microsoft's presence at the Taipei International Information Technology Show was discrete to say the least, although the local division of the company did occupy a fair volume of space. But as it is the tradition with Microsoft, the Redmond Company
focuses intensively on the United States market.
Additionally Microsoft came to Taipei following a set of conferences including Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) 2007 in Los Angeles in May, Tech■Ed 2007 at the beginning of June, and the Wall Street Journal's D: All Things Digital debuted at the end of May. The bottom line is that there is only so much of Microsoft to go around, and Computex Taipei 2007 had to settle for scraps. No Windows Server 2008 christening, no Microsoft Surface, no next level Internet Information Services 7.0, and certainly not Steve Jobs and Bill Gates on the same stage.
However, while it lacked a strong Microsoft presence, Computex Taipei 2007 more than made up in barely clothed showgirls. And exclusively for your viewing pleasure I have included a selection of images with the sexiest models at the bottom of this article. For the most part, the pictures are courtesy of Luke Luo and haen. This was the easiest way to get wood at Computex Taipei 2007 after the ASUS Bamboo Laptop. Who else was there? Well just Advanced Micro Devices, Intel and a plethora of IT brands including Acer, Gigabyte, MSI, ECS, MiTAC, CMC, Ritek, Inventec, Realtek and Asus. I have also embedded a video at the bottom to enable you to get an idea of what was Microsoft up to in Taipei World Trade Center at Computex 2007.
