What's Coming In Office 12 (2006)

The Unofficial Microsoft Weblog points to a Microsoft Watch article about the new features expected for Office 12, coming in 2006. Anonymous sources say the betas are scheduled for August and December of next year, with the "street" release coming on July 17, 2006. Nothing revolutionary mentioned in the article, unless you like acronyms (CMS, ECS, IFS, and SPS will all feature improvements). I guess this is probably the right time to mention that InsideMicrosoft, like its sister site InsideGoogle, is more consumer-oriented than geek oriented. Don't worry, though, the links will still get into the boring stuff.
