CeBIT 2004 news: Microsoft at CeBIT March 21, 2004 [General] | By anonymous 1. Microsoft had several stands at CeBIT, two biggest of them in halls 1 and 4. Windows Mobile however constituted only tiny part of these stands. Actually Windows Mobile was presented only on these 2 tables (the same that Microsoft used at CeBIT last year):

The car in the picture above was present at Microsoft´s stand for the sake of "embedded Windows CE .NET" presentation (Windows automotive) and had nothing to do with Windows Mobile...

On one hand CeBIT is a general trade show - not only about cell phones or PDAs, but on the other hand Windows Mobile still constitutes extremely tiny part of Microsoft´s reveneues (below 1 percent)... Microsoft´s marketing efforts at CeBIT 2004 were concentrating on marketing of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software: 
.. and on presenting Microsoft office, Tablet PC, and most of all on other business and enterprise solutions (like CRM, etc). Area for Tablet PC notebooks alone was at least 5 times bigger than the area at Microsoft´s stands devoted for Windows Mobile.
