UK-based Techworld.com (via Bink.nu) reports that Microsoft has confirmed the next major release of the Office Suite will take place sometime next year. According to the report, which quotes statements made by Bill Gates, the next Office release will focus on
-
Improvement in workflow capabilities
-
Rights management
-
Advanced scheduling
-
Document sharing
-
Business intelligence
More server-side solutions have also been widely speculated about, including a possible Excel server. The last major release of Microsoft Office was in 2003. This new version had long been linked to the release of Longhorn but it would appear that idea has been dropped.
1. workflow capabilities ???
