SharePoint and Office news at PDC

  • Article

For those of you not at PDC, but interested in knowing what "new" news was announced publicly at PDC pertaining to Office & SharePoint:

Day 1
- Microsoft SharePoint Services as part of the Azure Services Platform. This is not the same as Windows SharePoint Services (WSS). Please refer to PDC 2008- Announcing Azure Services Platform and Microsoft SharePoint Services for more information.

Day 2
- There will be an Office “14” in the future; essentially, the codename was officially announced. No details on timing.
- The Office client team introduced and demonstrated Office Web Applications. Very compelling demos! It was also mentioned that this was part of Office "14". No details on licensing or packaging.

I'll blog more later!
