When asked to name Microsoft products he is particularly bullish about, Koefoed mentioned at the top of his list Office 365, which Microsoft announced in late 2010 and began selling in June of last year as a competitor to Google Apps and other cloud-based communication and collaboration suites.

"I'm super excited about Office 365," he said, adding that the suite has more than 100,000 paying customer organizations and is enjoying very good momentum in the market. He said Microsoft will provide more details soon about Office 365 adoption and sales.
