New proof: Office 14 slated for 2009 | |
|
||
| Time: 08:45 EST/13:45 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Even though Microsoft has yet to release a public test build of Office 14, it is tracking for a 2009 release and will likely be named Office 2009. Microsoft didn’t issue a press release announcing its plans. In fact, the company has been steadfast in refusing to provide a date for when the next version of its Office family will ship. A few previous leaks have pointed to 2009 as the target date, however. | ||

| I will move to Office 14 right away if MS will bring back the "flags". I do not mind the "categories" but I really miss the ability to flag emails. |

You can flag emails in Outlook 2007.
Select an email | Click the Actions menu item | Go to "Follow Up" Alternatively, right-click the email list item and go to "Follow Up" Depending on your view settings, a flag control (outline) may also be located to the right of the text of each email list item. |

Flags rock in Outlook 2007.
Especially if you have the ToDo bar open. Flag an email, it shows up on the ToDo Bar. |

Ya know... I read a lot of thinsg where I hear gripes about Outlook as compared to online mail clients - now it is worse, since Apple has licenses MS's technology for sync, etc...
It's just daffy and makes me wonder if the pundits sharing such opinions have ever actually used Outlook (anywhere) and Exchange with its native support for RPC over HTTPS (the protocol behind Outlook anywhere) and mobile devices with secure OTA ActiveSync. Lately many people are treating so much of this as "new" or worse, "Unique to Apple" - daffier. It isn't new at all and has existed for a long time - forced encryption over TCP, for example, has been around since 2000. A great many people here have had direct push and full sync to multiple systems and mobile devices for years - including hooks to document libraries in Sharepoint. For those saying MS has no plan or strategy, that just makes no sense. There is, Live Mesh, which is the application or connectivity shell. Then there is the API, SyncFX and finally, FeedSync, the protocol. So we there is a distributed client, an API and open protocols - all of which are open for any of us to use on our apps. Shoot, they even plan to extend the services infrastructure to anyone who wants it. It's good stuff! |

Sorry, my statement was not clear; yes you can flag emails in OK 2007 but only for follow-up. What I liked in OK 2003 was the ability to flag messages using colored ones instead of using the categories as in OK 2007.
Also I really hope that MS will have enough time to bring the Ribbon to Outlook this time. #4: Am I missing something or what? Nobody was talking about online mail clients and/or less than ever Apple here. As far as people opinions about MS strategies, they are exactly those: opinions. You may have a different one but yours are still opinions. I am concern because you seems to start speaking like the passed away Rev. Farwell. |

| #5: Thanks. That was the funniest thing I've read all day. And your comparison of Ketchum to Rev. Fallwell is very apt, as he's easily the biggest MS evangelist I've ever seen outside of Redmond. |

#6: Thanks but I am a little bit concerned.
I have always read with interest Iketchum posts because they are very articulated, educative and informative. The fact I agree or disagree with him is, obviously, irrilevant; only limited people would not be interested to read books or articles showing different opinions. |

it was a broader comment for sure - the point I wanted to make is that a lot is said about Outlook (especially 2007) that is simply not true and that there is a lot more to it than is known.
There is so much capability within it that it's easy to post very broadly about it (sorry for the confusion). The qestions I saw in the thread made me reflect on Outlook and messaging more comprehensively and as a key part of any version Office. |

Fritzly - re: colored flags; do you mean the option in Outlook 2007 where you "Upgrade to Color Categories" under the properties of your mailbox?
I'm not sure what you mean by "I really hope that MS will have enough time to bring the Ribbon to Outlook this time"??? The office team actually spent more time on bringing the ribbon interface to Outlook than any of the other apps? I'm assuming you mean the 'main/front' UI of Outlook itself? in which case, MS have already explained why there's no ribbon there. The Ribbon UI is designed to be context sensitive for applications with large amounts menu items (under the old way of menu items) but in reality, there are just not enough different menu items in Outlook to justify the ribbon UI on the inbox, calendar, etc. While there are definitely enough 'options' within emails, appointments, etc. Word and Excel on the other hand are flooded with menu items :) |
