Quoting:By working with global technology leaders like Microsoft, we will be able to create a robust computing experience that is familiar, easier, safer and more connected for the participants, and in so doing, contribute to the concept of Hi-Tech Olympics.


Quoting: At Microsoft, we share many of the same values as the Olympic Spirit, including social responsibilities, respect for others, being helpful, ongoing achievements and the belief in people. As part of its commitment to China and Olympic Spirit, Microsoft will continue to provide software tailored to the diverse demands of the China market thereby helping people realize their potential.
