To all Microsoft Office Lover:
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has talked recently about the idea that the next version of Office will be able to run in various modes, including over the internet.
“We will rewrite Office to work in a browser,” he said in an interview with Britain’s Computer Weekly.
Microsoft employees also got a peek at Office 14′s versatility during the company’s recent annual employee meeting.
A job opening for the “Office Web Companions team” offers a bit more on what was shown.
“Featured at the 2008 Company Meeting, the web companions organisation is at the center of Office’s software plus services transformation, coordinating this key vision area for Office ’14′,” Microsoft said in a job listing for a lead software development engineer.
“Working together with partners across Office and beyond, we are tasked with delivering best-in-class Office web Applications that expand the reach of the traditional client apps in a wide variety of innovative ways, delivering server, service, and browser client features.”
