Microsoft Becomes Wembley Stadium's Backer

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the take-me-out-to-the-ballmer dept.

Xlylith writes "BBC News is reporting that Bill Gates and software giant Microsoft have signed to become first "Founding Partner" of the new Wembley stadium, in a five-year deal worth at least £5m. Microsoft technology will be used in the stadium, and the firm will get use of the pitch for 90 minutes a year. Guess where Vista will be launched in UK next year? Microsoft's press release is also available."
