Microsoft said on Tuesday it remained confident about its future, which was why it was raising an army of new recruits and investing tens of millions of dollars in a partnership with Hewlett-Packard. Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer used a European tour to launch a new initiative with HP, aimed at bringing .NET services from Microsoft to businesses. "It's a major investment and will give major new capacities to the market to people who can move forward with .NET," Ballmer told journalists here. Together they will hire thousands of engineers, and sales and service staff for .NET.
