Microsoft, in partnership with Surfline Communications, a Ghana-based telecommunication network provider, has opened the country�s first Windows Zone at Surfline�s flagship store at Osu, Accra.
The outlet provides consumers with the opportunity to experience and interact with a full suite of Microsoft products and services in a single store and gain insights into the benefits of using Windows.
Windows Zone showcases how people can use their multiple devices like laptops, tablets and smart phones to bring personal computing into the �mobile-first and cloud-first era.�
According to a release from Microsoft, that is the phrase Microsoft uses to describe its vision to enable people to complete tasks across a range of devices from anywhere, and at any time, making use of �the cloud� to access and store files.
�With Windows Zone, Microsoft is making it easier for Ghanaians to understand how they can use ICT to solve their day-to-day challenges, and highlighting how platforms such as Windows 8.1 can provide an impressive and improved digital experience,� the statement said.
Microsoft said the store consisted of two floors where customers could try Windows devices, including the Nokia product line and Microsoft�s productivity-enhancing software tools such as Office 365, Lync and Note.
�The Windows Zone gives consumers a taste of how Microsoft�s hardware and software � or devices and services - work together to provide rich consumer experiences for all life and work scenarios on screens of all sizes,� it added.
In the 22 years that Microsoft has been operating in Africa, the company has been working to improve people�s lives by enabling them to reach their full potential through technology, including its new range of devices like the Nokia phones and modern versions of the Windows operating system.
Microsoft aims to empower people across the world to increasingly use technology to make lives easier.
