I'm anxious to start to share cool details about Microsoft's next version of SharePoint, CMS and other Office products (Called Office 12 or O12). Officially, the O12 client software is no longer under NDA (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote, Visio, Access, Outlook). The O12 "servers" are. That said, I've decided I'm going to do two things with this blog until O12 becomes fully public.
a) I'll point you to the best resources on Office 12 and Microsoft's next wave of their collaboration, Enterprise content Management, Business Intelligence, Portal and Desktop Publishing suite.
and
b) I'll try to summarize the publically available details of Office 12 in a manner that makes sense to me :)
O12 is slated for release in the second half of 2006. There are no official details available yet on product pricing or how the server or client products are going to be packaged, which is probably the biggest annoyance, but as soon as we find out, I'll post it.
