Microsoft Already Campaign '08 Winner

Forget about presumptive GOP presidential nominee John McCain or his Democratic challenger Barack Obama -- we already know the big winner of the 2008 campaign season. It's Microsoft. The company has been named the official technology provider of the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention. Microsoft will provide support for various products, including Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Forefront Security Suite, and its Office Communications Server. Microsoft will also manage convention infrastructure ranging from collaborative virtual workspaces to applications like Professional Volunteer Management System, Venue Scheduling System, and other endeavors to improve staff efficiency and reduce paper usage. Microsoft will also showcase the next generation of computing, using Microsoft Surface and its natural user interface technology to provide a digital concierge for convention participants.
