Report: Office 14 may be Office 2009

ENT News | at | by Mike

Veteran technology reporter Mary Jo Foley today discovered a Microsoft frequently asked questions document that appears to indicate Microsoft will call the next version of Office, currently code named Office 14, Office 2009.

According to an entry posted today on ZDNet's All About Microsoft blog, Foley saw the possible naming convention -- which would also confirm its yet-to-be-announced shipping year, if true -- in a FAQ related to a SharePoint podcast.

In the FAQ -- "which I expect Microsoft to edit shortly after I post this," Foley wrote -- the next version of SharePoint is referred to twice as SharePoint 2009.
