The Next WGA Target — The Channel To date, with its Genuine Advantage anti-piracy programs, Microsoft has targeted consumers. Windows and Office users have been required to validate their products as “genuine” before being able to obtain many downloads and add-ons. Get a Genuine Advantage Refresher Here We dug around a bit for more details, to no avail. Roger Kay, president with Endpoint Technologies Associates, said he had no doubts that the channel would be a big Genuine Advantage focus for the Softies, going forward: Anyone out there have more details to share on Microsoft’s upcoming Genuine Advantage crackdown plans? We’re all ears… There’s a New Office Live Sheriff in Town For most of the past week, your trusty Microsoft Watcher has been zipping around the Redmond campus, by bus, on foot and corporate shuttle. As part of our sojourns, we had a chance to chat with Rajesh Jha, the head of Office Live. At the very end of July, the 16-year Microsoft veteran was promoted to Corporate Vice President. Microsoft Business Division boss Jeff Raikes had this to say about the modest Jha: “Rajesh has a sixteen year track record of positive contribution to Microsoft across Microsoft Works, multi-media technologies, NetDocs and InfoPath. His proven leadership of our big bet on Office Live and the company’s broader investment in Software + Services has made him an incredible asset for MBD and Microsoft and has earned him this executive promotion.” Jha built the Office Live business from scratch in 18 months. Microsoft launched the Office Live beta in the U.S. in February 2006, with the final 1.0 release expected before the end of calendar 2006. The team is planning an Office Live version 1.5 release, to be launched right after Office 2007, according to Raikes in his Jha promotion note. February: The Office Live Beta Goes Live There have been some rough spots in the Office Live beta tests. Some readers had told Microsoft Watch of less-than-smooth conversion from their existing domain providers to Microsoft. Jha acknowledged that Microsoft received similar feedback. “In the first month, we saw a lot of that (conversion trouble) happening,” he said. But Microsoft has made adjustments for that and other issues in refreshes of the Live code, Jha said. Microsoft is focused on building up its Office Live development platform story in order to attract software-development partners who could bring vertically-tailored versions of Office Live to market, Jha said.
