Following a meeting in Seoul yesterday between the Vice Chairman and CEO of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Yoon-Woo Lee, and the CEO of Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT), Steve Ballmer, Samsung Electronics announced that it will collaborate with Microsoft on efficient energy usage in computers.
The two companies are aimed at encouraging PC users to purchase more environmentally friendly PC systems. Samsung expects substantial energy savings when Microsoft's flagship Windows 7 operating system and Samsung's 40 nanometer (nm) class DDR3 DRAM are used together.
Samsung, a strong supporter of Windows 7, will be migrating all of its corporate PCs worldwide to the new operating system beginning in 2010.
The Green IT collaboration effort between the world's number one memory company and the world's number one software company is expected to contribute to the revival of IT markets that have been depressed from the economic downturn.
