The timing couldn;t be much more ironic. The day just before Amazon introduced its latest eReader,Office Pro Plus 2010 Key (http://www.office2010key.us/), 1 of Microsoft;s foremost champions of screen-based browsing revealed he;d be leaving the business.Bill Hill,Office 2010 X86 Key (http://www.office-2010-key.co.uk), the kilt-wearing Scotsman recognized as the driving force behind Microsoft ClearType, seemingly is an additional casualty of Microsoft;s newest round of layoffs.Hill joined Microsoft in 1994. In 1998, he joined a new electronic books undertaking in Microsoft Analysis, run by then-vice-president Dick Brass. Hill ended up running the Microsoft team that created ClearType, a font-display technologies for computer screens.Inside a Could possibly 5 publish on his private weblog, Hill acknowledged he was leaving Microsoft. He also reflected on the screen-based browsing world:“I’ve become convinced over the past couple of years that no one business or browser will make the transition to examining on screen happen. I still believe in eBooks. Amazon has definitely seized the lead there, by providing the two things which were both essential to success – a device and a bookstore.“I have some other ideas I’m not nevertheless ready to talk about. And of course I;m available as a consultant.”Hill blogged about his belief that standards will be key to eBooks; future:“The position of making the display as comfortable to read as paper is not nevertheless completed. I;ve come to believe that it is the development of Web standards, and standards-based rendering, which will take us the rest of the way.“There’s huge potential. Two trillion pages are still printed in the US alone,Office 2010 Pro Serial clave (http://www.office2010key.eu/), every year, and that’s an enormous waste of energy and resources.”(There are a number of video interviews with the colorful and always entertaining Hill that have been posted on Microsoft;s Channel 9 over the years. Here;s the most current.)I keep thinking Microsoft must be going to jump into the eBook/reader market in some way,Office 2010 Standard Product Key (http://www.msoffice2010key.com), but so far haven;t heard anything that would back my intuition. As an avid Kindle user,Office 2010 64bit (http://www.office2010key.ca/), I have to say I;ll be surprised if the Softies steer clear of this space….By the way, Hill is might possibly be just 1 of several surprising casualties of Microsoft;s Round 2 of layoffs. Trustworthy Computing expert Steve Riley is another (who was definitely cut in the layoff round this week).
