Ther eis high anticipation that the new Microsoft Office products will become broadly available to the general public by the end of this month which I guess means this week.
Microsoft is also reporting record revenue for the second quarter of its financial year. Performances were strong all around, with the Windows Division up 24 percent year on year. Signs that the pc maybe has a longer life than predicted by the ultra/sllek books, notepads, and tablet fans and that the growth in mobile devices has not yet reduced the need for pcs for heavy duty work.
Microsoft has been using the phrase, “Office Next,” to describe the newest version of its productivity suite, but it will probably go on sale as office 2013 at least for the on premise option. There is talk of an, as-yet-undescribed, “Office 365 Midsize Business” product.
