摘抄半段新闻自微软inside track报纸~~
（经牛佳同学提醒，我也看了一眼报纸...看看“花生省魔术”-_-）
前面引用Buffett的话说21世纪属于中国。提到了中国在金融危机这年的GDP。然后引出微软想在全球竞争则必须在中国胜利的论点。另外一个支持论点是"The sheer scale of China's economy means the companies that are successful in the country will be able to project success in other markets, Sundaresan said." 所举例证是General Motors (GM)公司在上海开研发中心开始设计适用于中国的汽车的时候，发现同样可以转译为印度使用，以及用于其他的将要浮出水面的市场。

While the team, Server & Tools Business (STB), is in China to do global R&D, it can also engage locally and have an impact. One of the first investments that STB China made was in high-performance computing (HPC). In 2008, Microsoft partnered with the Shanghai Supercomputing Center and a local hardware vendor to build the largest supercomputer outside the United States. When it went online, it clocked in as the 10th fastest computer in the world. It was the first Windows HPC Server-based supercomputer to crack the top 10; the rest are Linux-based.
The supercomputer was a big win, Sundaresan said. Roughly 30 percent of Windows HPC Server sales are in the Asia-Pacific region, and the top-10 ranking is already boosting sales in the region.

Plenty of challenges remain for Microsoft. For all the huge numbers tossed around, China still represents a very small percentage of the company's revenue. Last year, Microsoft made roughly half a billion dollars in revenue from China, Somasegar said. When talking about the world's second-largest economy and second-largest number of PC users, something doesn't compute, he added. "Microsoft software is getting used in China, but customers are not willing to pay for it because they don't see value in intangibles that can be duplicated at no cost."
Delivering software as a service might help Microsoft demonstrate the value in its software and get paid for its value, he said. "For example, our cloud services cannot be easily duplicated and could be one way for us to more effectively deliver value to customers and be more successful in China."
这貌似和VanceInfo说想做IBM提到的东西一致

When Somasegar started working at Microsoft 21 years ago, Redmond was the only place to be for R&D. "I'd love to see the top 1 percent of the world's software talent work for Microsoft," he said. To make that happen, Microsoft must have a global R&D presence, especially in key geographies such as China. Microsoft's customers are from all over the world, he said, and to sell to diverse customer bases, it needs to have diversity in its teams and to understand a diverse set of scenarios.
"China reminds me of the early days at Microsoft; the country buzzes with excitement, optimism, and opportunity," Somasegar said. "Microsoft has just barely tapped the opportunity in China. However, it is clear that success in China is strategically important for the company and will bring benefits not only to Microsoft but also to China as well as the U.S."
