Information technology spending in Asia was forecast to grow an average 9 per cent over each of the next three years, but Microsoft believed it could beat the broader market, said Oliver Roll, the company's general manager of marketing in Asia Pacific.

"We think our revenue growth will be higher than the IT spending growth. That means our revenue growth will be double digit or more," Roll told said in an interview late on Thursday.
