Microsoft needs to get back in front of people and get them excited about its products, Todd Swank, senior director of product marketing for Equus, a Minnetonka, Minn.-based system builder, told CRN.

When Microsoft announced in December 2011 plans to ditch its CES booth and pull out of the keynote slot, Frank Shaw, corporate vice president of corporate communications, explained that its product milestones typically didn't take place in the January time frame. Microsoft would instead look to connect with customers through Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft's retail stores, Shaw said at the time.
