During the visit, Ms Clark examined Microsoft's newest productivity software, mainly including offerings in the areas of video conferencing and online collaboration tools. "There is no comparison" between Microsoft's technology and that of the Beehive, Clark said after the meeting. During the meeting they also looked at ways technology could help the continuing growth of New Zealand's economic development. This disparity she blamed "unquestionably" on the state of New Zealand broadband Internet access, which still uses the outdated copper 'local loop' system. She also referred to the importance of fibre optic networks, which "some are now calling the 'fourth utility'." The visit to Microsoft follows her meeting with the president of the United States , President Bush.
