Microsoft remains committed to investing in little and mid-market businesses and our partners who serve them. The list of products and offerings that we launched last year specifically for the SMBs is a great testament towards the priority and focus we have with this customer segment. I am even more excited with the opportunities that cloud computing can bring to SMBs now and in the near future. We appreciate all that Birger has done and wish him well.”Steen;s predecessor was Michael Risse,Office 2010 Home And Business Key, who became Vice President of SMB in 2007 and lasted until 2009.Microsoft is expected to launch test builds in August of two new SMB-focused products, an on-premises SMB server, codenamed “SBS 7,” and a new hybrid cloud/on-premises SMB server, codenamed “Aurora.”At Microsoft;s latest Finanacial Analyst Meeting, organization officials said that 20 percent of Microsoft;s business comes from SMBs, while 36 percent comes from enterprise customers and 17 percent from consumer sales.
