This week the blogging community received great news from Microsoft during the Office Developers Conference in Redmond. We can finally blog about the 2007 Office System in full. This is excellent news since a lot of people were waiting for this. Now I just need the time to write it all down since my travelling is still quite extensive. Today I am starting a 3-day Office 2007 developer workshop for Microsoft Sweden here in Kista. More than 30 participants in the classroom, so that is going to be fun!
Here is the official word from Microsoft:
As of March 21, 2006, Microsoft is officially lifting our previous request for non-disclosure of Office Server products. This change in our NDA policy is driven by the open nature of the Office Developers Conference and the information that is being covered at that event.
The following things are now public:
- Product naming and packaging
- All Client applications, including Groove 2007
- All Server applications, including both capabilities and feature-level server details
- Key investment areas (collaboration, Business Intelligence, Enterprise Content Management, Enterprise Project Management).
