As COO of Microsoft, Kevin Turner is responsible for the strategic and operational leadership of some 38,000 employees in Microsoft's worldwide sales, marketing and services units. And along with Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer and five other top executives, Turner sits on the senior leadership team that charts Microsoft's strategy.

In a briefing at the company's headquarters in Redmond, Wash., this week, Turner noted that there were four key enterprise trends shaping Microsoft's strategic direction and future product offerings as well as how it will spend US$7 billion in its R&D department.
