Microsoft launches SME advice site

Microsoft has launched an advisory Web site for small firms struggling with technology projects.

Called Microsoft Business Advantage, the site will offer research information, tips, price rundowns and links to experts.

The company says the site was set up in response to cries for help from system managers from small and medium-sized businesses.

There is also a buying option on the Web site which incorporates discounts on licensing programmes, but these can only be obtained if the company runs a minimum of five computers.

The site can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/biz/
