Microsoft puts final touches on Office | |
|
||
| Time: 13:46 EST/18:46 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||
|
Microsoft is finalizing plans for the next version of its Office business software, which will likely include new Web services, communication and collaboration features, said sources familiar with the company's plans. Moreover, many of the features once planned as part of Microsoft's .Net My Services consumer Web services strategy may now find their way into Office, sources said. Microsoft has not set a release date for the next version of the business software, which has been referred to internally as Office.Net or Next Generation Office. Microsoft shipped Office XP, the current version of the software package, one year ago this month. New versions typically follow the current release by 18 to 24 months. News of the next version comes as rival Sun Microsystems announces a new version of its StarOffice package, which is an alternative to Microsoft Office. Sun on Tuesday said it will begin selling the software May 21, priced at $75.95. | ||

For crying out loud, we haven't even been able to absorb Office XP into the world yet!

MS releases Office far too often.
"StarOffice package, which is an alternative to Microsoft Office" Now let's not get too carried away... "alternative"? Pfft... |

| I think that the words "final touches" are misleading; there have not been rumors about the beta so I think it hasn't started yet. Furthermore Office XP came out one year ago and my guess is that NGO will not be out until next June. |

daz, "alternative" I'd agree to, which is better than "replacement," which Star Office or Open Office certainly are not.
I'll still take by Office XP over any of those, although Open Office is ok (and way better than Star Office 5.2). |

I'm currently using Open Office on my machine which surprises everyone including me. It may not have everything I need or all the bells that Office XP has but it works to write letters and stuff.
God... did I just say all that! Of course it goes without saying that the rest of my company is using office because they aren't as used to change as I am :) I love trying out new things and Open Office is alot better than StarOffice... that is for damn sure! Anyway, having a new office already is stupid but I don't think that it is going to be out for a year or so. By then I might bite. |
