Microsoft announced a new name and new integration plans on Monday for its collaboration software. SharePoint Team Services, server software that gives workers a common environment in which to share information and documents, will now be known as Windows SharePoint Services, Microsoft said. Microsoft also announced that support for SharePoint would be built into more products, including Office 11, the next version of the company's productivity package; InfoPath, upcoming software for creating and using electronic forms; OneNote, an upcoming note-taking tool; and FrontPage, Microsoft's long-running Web design software. Windows SharePoint Services support will also be built into SharePoint Portal Server, Microsoft's server software for building corporate portals that serve as a central access point to company data.
