Thanks Josh...With its next-generation Windows and Office products, Microsoft is expected to adopt a new and untried naming convention, according to sources. The company is expected to announce the change next week.
Other independent sources claiming familiarity with Microsoft's Office plans said they also had heard that Microsoft has decided to use the Office XP name for Office 10. Why XP? Apparently the XP suffix is used for eXPerience. But one source close to the company said that Microsoft will not re-brand the individual products comprising the Office 10 suite with the XP moniker. Word 2002, Excel 2002, PowerPoint 2002 and other individual applications will continue to use Microsoft's year-based naming conventions, the source said.
