CRN.com | at | by Mike
Three years have passed since Microsoft last upgraded its widely used Office desktop applications--Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, and others--and related Office server applications. The next release, Office 2007, is due in the second half of this year, and Microsoft officials have begun to talk openly about what will be new and different, including features, pricing, packaging, and licensing. Office developers will convene this week, from March 21st to the 23rd, at the Office Developers Conference in Redmond, Wash., to learn how to tune their own software for the Office 2007 environment.
