MSFT Office 15

The word is that on Monday MSFT will make an announcement on the new features that will be available in Office 15 which should be out early next year. Expectations are that there will be lots of tight integration with in8, due out this fall. MSFT needs to keep potential  buyers syched up and waiting for the newest, latest and greatest product from Redmond.

What would happen if buyers realized that they don't need to "upgrade" their software every year or two in order to stay productive? Simple, MSFT would lose a lot of money and their stock price would fall. That's what they really care about.

What MSFT needs to realize is that buyers caught on to MSFT years ago and are using what works, not what they're told they "need". This post is being written on an Android tablet using Google software. Sorry MSFT, no sale here.
