Microsoft slates Office 16 for second half of 2015

From InfoWorld: Microsoft will launch its next version of Office for Windows in the second half of 2015, according to an online report.

ZDNet blogger Mary Jo Foley first reported on comments made by Julia White, general manager of marketing for Office and Office 365, at Microsoft's Tech Ed Europe conference in Barcelona.

According to Foley, White said that the next version of Office on Windows would launch in the last half of next year, a broad timetable that was different from previous speculation, which had focused on the first half of 2015, perhaps as early as April.

During the end of a guest spot Tuesday on Channel 9, Microsoft's online television channel, White did not specify the second half of the year, saying only "later in 2015." But she did mention that the next version of Office would go through Microsoft's typical testing process, including TAP (Technology Adoption Program) and a beta, with the latter presumably available to the general public.
