Viscount Systems, Inc. ( OTC: VSYS ), a leading-edge, high technology supplier of security systems and software, is pleased to announce that it has received a "Be What's Next" award from Microsoft Corporation ( NASDAQ: MSFT ) for its participation in Microsoft Global Security's Good Samaritan Project that was submitted to the Microsoft "What's Next" competition.

When the Kinect software identifies an emergency condition, Freedom Cloud software is used to identify staff in the relevant Freedom access control zone to send an emergency assistance message on their Windows phone.
"We were very pleased to have the opportunity to work on this project with Microsoft Global Security and to share in this honor," noted Stephen Pineau, President and CEO of Viscount. "Viscount's part of the Good Samaritan project focused on applying Microsoft's leading edge Cloud and mobile platforms to the security industry. This project and our other R&D initiatives have resulted in the company filing numerous patents in the past year that relate to the Cloud , mobile devices, NFC, converged logical/physical identity management, smart cards, identity management and visitor management . As we begin to commercialize these products we believe that we are well positioned to become the leading provider of mobile and cloud solutions to the physical security industry."

Microsoft Corp. ( NASDAQ: MSFT ) is reportedly in discussions to help finance a buyout of struggling computer maker Dell Inc. According to the Wall Street Journal, which cited a person familiar with the talks, Microsoft's investment "would likely be in the range of a couple of billion dollars."

"Recent press reports point to a potential buyout by PE firms and founder Michael Dell for $13-$14 per share," Wu wrote in a note to investors Tuesday.
