Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard, the world's top software and PC firms, on Thursday announced plans for a new technology center in Taiwan, the world's computer-manufacturing hub.
Companies such as HP and Dell are the world's top sellers of PCs, but most of the actual hardware -- about 80 percent of all laptops -- is made by Taiwan firms including Quanta Computer and Compal Electronics.
"Microsoft and HP solution centers will help advance the technology of our Taiwanese business partners and corporate clients," John Knutsen, global Microsoft technology center director, said at a news conference.
