Developers, Get Ready: 2007 Microsoft Office Is A Serious Application Platform
with Carl Zetie, Kyle McNabb, Christine E. Atwood
Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)
At the end of 2006, Microsoft plans to release the successor to Office 2003 — the first Office release overtly designed as an application platform, as well as a suite of personal and team applications. Assuming massive adoption of the new release, the 2007 Microsoft Office system (Office 2007) will be a strong alternative to custom desktop applications built using Windows Forms and a good platform for collaborative Windows desktop applications. Office 2007 will also provide an alternative for building some kinds of rich Internet applications and will compete with Ajax techniques and Adobe Flex.
